In his anxious search for a woman, who might not even be alive, a mysterious man ends up at an isolated villa on the night of a severe storm. Being wounded, he is harbored by the two strange women who have just buried a body in the backyard of their gothic estate. They offer him shelter from the rain, but the apparent kindness of these two strangers is quickly transformed to an orgy ritual of sadomasochism and the transgression of all limitations.

As staggeringly beautiful as it is notorious, SINGAPORE SLING is a grotesque, sensual, and altogether unforgettable genre cinema gem from one of Greece's key arthouse auteurs, the Godfather of the "Greek Weird Wave" Nikos Nikolaidis. Distinguished by Aris Stavrou's intricately lit and immaculately composed black and white cinematography, this mesmerizingly unsettling noir-fantastique has been newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original negative!

"A rare effort in cinema history, perhaps carrying its hybrid heritage from Serbian provocateurs and Italian shockers, yet satirizing the intellectual downfall of modern society through a unique twist of film-noir with a self-inflicted sadomasochistic, necrophilic, urophilic, cannibal, transvestite, emetophilic, lesbian perversion. It'd be hilarious to know what's Otto Preminger's opinion over this bastard son of cinema... or how much he'd vomit all over his bleeding entrails." - Edgar Cochran
