Unlucky Plaza opened the 25th Singapore International Film Festival in December last year, with two sold out screenings. It opened in local cinemas in April this year, and is still showing.

In a country where even campaigns targeting crime are obliged to acknowledge the near-absence of it (“˜low crime doesn’t mean no crime!’), film-maker Ken Kwek has crafted a Singaporean film unabashedly teeming with transgressions.
