1990 • Greece • Directed by Nikos Nikolaidis

Mysterious. Perverse. Absurd. Eccentric. A staggeringly beautiful slice of arthouse horror that combines elements of noir, black comedy, exploitation and eroticism, Singapore Sling is a cinematic experience like no other. You have been warned…

Mother (Michele Valley) and Daughter (Meredyth Herold) inhabit an isolated world of their own creation playing twisted games in memory of a sadistic patriarch, whose mummified corpse shares their secluded mansion. Servants come and go, frequently murdered and buried in the back garden as part of the twisted games the women play. When an injured man turns up at their doorstep they take him in, little realising that he is a detective in search of his lost lover, Laura, a woman they lured to their lair and brutally murdered three years earlier.

Director Nikos Nikolaidis’ perverse mix of ancient Greek Tragedy and demented fairytale unsettled critics and censors in 1990, but has since built a devoted cult following among audiences with a taste for the transgressive.
