Interesting facts

Lang Tong is a 2014 Singaporean erotic thriller film directed by Sam Loh. It stars William Lawandi, Angeline Yap, and Vivienne Tseng. Yap and Tseng play sisters involved in a love triangle with a serial womanizer, played by Lawandi. It premiered uncut in December 2014 at the Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) and was released in Singapore on March 5, 2015. It caused some controversy in Singapore over its graphic sex scenes, three minutes of which were cut for its theatrical release.

Production

Loh was inspired by Japanese film Audition (1999) and 2004 Hong Kong film Dumplings. Casting was difficult because of the required nudity and sex scenes, which Loh said were partly in response to a perceived avoidance of risk-taking the local cinema. Shooting took place over two weeks in April 2014 in Tiong Bahru. It is the first in a proposed trilogy.
