Synopsis:
Inspired by true stories and real-life characters, Pleasure Factory tells an intimate and seductive tale involving pleasure seekers and pleasure providers in Geylang, SingaporeÂ’s red light district.

R21 already still want to cut. Don't cut just might as well make it R35 or something.
Like Lust Caution, R21 also want to cut, cut how much? 20 minutes. Wah lau, might as well ban it in the first place. I reckon banning it here won't make lee ang feel too bad, but cutting his movie up must be the ultimate insult. -
Lust Caution one discuss in the Lust Caution thread lah.
anyway, the cut version is Lee Ang, or Ang Lee, or watever, ownself cut one -
this one also edited ownself by the director
could be for the homoerotic scenes from what I read from a Variety review -
Who play the teenage girl? Just curious that a teenager will be willingly to stare in a R21 film...

If Amsterdam has her infamous fish tanks and Bangkok has her Patpong, I'm sure there must be something fascinating enough for Singapore's own red light district Geylang to be used as the backdrop, and its nighttime inhabitants becoming characters featured in a feature length film. After all, Bugis Street of old (not the sterile shopping mall it has now become) had been made in a 1996 Singapore movie entitled Bugis Street. But what came across as inspired from true stories that originates from within that area leaves much to be desired. After all, surely we know of some of these stories if we have friends who have visited the area (*ahem* if not yourself) and lived to tell of their conquests, or countless others that you can read of anonymously, courtesy of the Sammyboy forums, and those are somewhat more honest and to the point that what Pleasure Factory depicted.
