TV & Film Picks: Head Over Heels, Law And The City, Wes Ander-thon
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Head Over Heels (PG13) Prime Video Starring Cho Yi-hyun and Choo Young-woo, this 12-episode romcom offers a fresh spin on youth romance with its supernatural elements. Cho plays Seong-a, a high school student by day and a powerful shaman by night. During one of he r consultations, she falls head over heels for handsome classmate Gyeong-u (Choo), who is doomed to die in 21 days. Seong-a sets out to save her first love by becoming his secret human talisman. Head Over Heels stars (from left) Cho Yi-hyun and Choo Young-woo. PHOTO: PRIME VIDEO Rising K-actors Cho and Choo shine in their roles, and it helps that the duo make a cute couple, thanks to their good looks and magnetic chemistry. The one gripe is that while Cho, 25, pulls off the adorable, plucky high-schooler look well, Choo, 26, looks too mature to be a 17-year-old. Still, the story's unique blend of romance, horror and comedy, and strong supporting cast make this an easy watch. Law And The City Disney+ Lee Jong-suk in Law And The City. PHOTO: DISNEY+ K-drama star Lee Jong-suk returns to the small screen after a three-year absence in this slice-of-life drama about five lawyers. The 12-episode series also stars Moon Ga-young of True Beauty (2020 to 2021) fame and Kang You-seok, who was recently seen in Resident Playlist (2025). Lee is no stranger to playing a legal eagle, having done that in the hit shows While You Were Sleeping (2017) and Big Mouth (2022). Unlike the louder characters in those shows, his role in Law And The City is that of a competent but jaded lawyer. The key element here is the lawyers meeting over meals, from lunches to dinners, as they try out the city's best restaurants and cafes while sharing their daily grind and woes. One of them runs a restaurant blog called Lawyer's Table, so expect plenty of close-ups of their meals and delicious-looking food. Wes Ander-thon The Projector Fantastic Mr Fox (2009) is one of the five films that will be screened at The Projector as part of its Wes Ander-thon showcase. PHOTO: THE PROJECTOR Rediscover some of acclaimed film-maker Wes Anderson's beloved works at The Projector at Cineleisure. The five films include The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), which gave Anderson his first Oscar nomination for best screenplay and stars the late Gene Hackman; and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou (2004), featuring Bill Murray as the titular oceanographer who wants to exact revenge on a shark that killed his partner. The Darjeeling Limited (2007), starring Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman, is about three brothers who travel across India in an attempt to bond with one another. Anderson's whimsical take on Roald Dahl's classic story Fantastic Mr Fox, featuring the voices of George Clooney and Meryl Streep, gave the director his first best animated feature film Oscar nomination. No Anderson showcase is complete without the Oscar-winning The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), a colourful and quirky tale set in a popular European ski resort.

The Violinist: Singapore's First Animated Historical Epic Set for 2026 Release
A film billed as Singapore's first animated historical epic is set to open in cinemas here in August 2026. The Violinist is set against the backdrop of colonial Singapore, the Japanese Occupation and the turbulent decades that follow. The story begins before the war and follows Fei, a violinist from a Peranakan family, and her close friend Kai, also a violinist. After the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1941, Kai joins the resistance, but he disappears after the war. Fei spends decades performing around the region while searching for her missing friend. Her journey is marked by grief, and also hope. Singapore actors voicing the characters include Tan Kheng Hua, Adrian Pang, Ayden Sng and Fang Rong. Japanese actor Kazuya Tanabe voices a character who appears during the Occupation. Golden Horse Award-winning local musician Ricky Ho will compose music for the project. In a press statement, the film's co-director Ervin Han called The Violinist a tribute to 'a generation shaped by history'. 'I wanted to tell a story that lives in the space between history and imagination, one that honours the people who endured and the quiet courage that history often overlooks,' says Han, who also co-wrote the screenplay. He shares the writing and directing credits with veteran Spanish animator Raul Garcia, whose animation credits include Disney classics like Beauty And The Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992) and The Lion King (1994). The Violinist is a co-production between Singapore's Robot Playground Media, co-founded by Han, Spain's TV ON Producciones and Italy's Altri Occhi. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

'It is the first time our history has been brought to life through animation in a way that has captured global interest. This achievement does more than showcase our creative talent; it opens the door for future generations of local talents to share stories of our home and our dreams,' he said. At a press event held on July 15 at IMDA's innovation space Pixel in one-north, Han, 50, says the film is about 'music and memory' - 'the things we hold on to, the things we search for, and the things we have to let go of to find something new'. The feature, adapted from Han's 2016 short film The Violin, has taken eight years to develop. 'We wanted the The Violinist to be rooted not just in character but in a place, specifically in Singapore and Malaya. We spent years establishing a high level of authenticity in the historical locations seen in the film,' he says. Fei's Peranakan family home, for example, is based on the NUS Baba House in conservation district Blair Plain. Fei's Peranakan family home is inspired by the NUS Baba House, a heritage site that was once the home of a Straits Chinese family. PHOTO: ROBOT PLAYGROUND MEDIA The track record for Singapore animated features has been marked by ups and downs. The 3D animated fantasies Legend Of The Sea (2007) and Zodiac: The Race Begins (2006) were acknowledged to be critical and commercial failures, while the animated drama Tatsumi (2011) from celebrated Singapore film-maker Eric Khoo was more positively received on the festival circuit and was selected to be Singapore's entry to the Best Foreign Language category at the 2012 Academy Awards, but did not make the final shortlist. Han says he is aware of the risk he is taking but says that making a film in Singapore, be it live-action or animation, involves taking a bet on one's instincts. 'Who in their right mind would make an animated film? Maybe there's a good reason why no one has made one in so long. Tatsumi was released 14 years ago. But I can't help it. It's what I love,' he says. Producer Justin Deimen calls The Violinist a 'very Singaporean film that crosses cultures'. It is not aimed at the arthouse or prestige end of the market, but will be a film for 'children in higher primary, their parents and their grandparents', he says.
