Cannes Film Festival, 2013 Winner, Camera d’Or

British Film Institute Awards

Won, Sutherland Trophy

“The startlingly assured direction and screenwriting of the winning film surprised us all. Anthony Chen's Ilo Ilo also chose a domestic canvas, but the imaginative and innovative voice of this filmmaker elevated the film technically and narratively, and made us wonder at the fragile nature of family life in this modern Singapore tale.”
