Aroview: Doing for the tiny island nation of Singapore what LA HAINE did for France, this box-office hit follows the misfiring antics of three teenagers living on the edge of this famously law-abiding society.
Set around a public-housing estate beset by tattooed, foul-mouthed youth gangs, this de-prioritises narrative with in-yer-face rapping, jumpy montages and random encounters with the straightlaced citizenry. Note: was originally banned in Singapore and finally only released with an "R21" rating!
