The first Singaporean feature to premiere in Official Competition at the Venice International Film Festival, Stranger Eyes marks a bold return for acclaimed writer-director YEO Siew Hua (A Land Imagined, 2018) assembles a top-tier creative team for this haunting urban mystery, including cinematographer Hideho URATA (Plan 75, 2022), editor Jean-Christophe Bouzy (Titane, 2021), and legendary sound designer TU Duu-Chih (Yi Yi, 2000). Echoing the tension and psychological weight of Michael Haneke’s Hidden (2005) and LEE Chang-dong’s Burning (2018).
Set in contemporary Singapore, the film follows Junyang (WU Chien-Ho) and Peiying (Anicca Panna), whose lives are upended when their daughter mysteriously vanishes from a playground after a brief moment of inattention. As police launch an investigation, the couple receives an anonymous package—containing clandestine footage of their daily lives, including intimate moments before and after the child’s disappearance.
To catch the voyeur, detectives install additional surveillance cameras around their home. Suspicion quickly falls on their reclusive neighbour Wu (a haunting performance by LEE Kang-Sheng). But as the lens turns inward, it is not only their surroundings that are exposed—Junyang and Peiying’s own secrets and suppressed tensions begin to surface under the unrelenting gaze of constant observation.
《默視錄》入選威尼斯影展主競賽單元,是導演楊修華繼《幻土》後強勢回歸,攜手一流國際團隊打造的都會懸疑驚悚之作。電影由台灣、新加坡、法國、美國國際合製,幕後陣容包括《七五計畫》攝影浦田秀穗、《鈦》剪接尚.克里斯多夫.布齊,以及《一一》台灣錄音大師杜篤之。
作品氛圍如李滄東的《燃燒烈愛》,充滿壓抑的視覺張力,及濃濃的情緒暗湧。透過兩個家庭的故事,電影深刻探討現代城市中「觀看」與「被觀看」的關係,揭示監控生活背後的人性真實,也反思我們如何面對當代社會中,無所不在的凝視。
故事設定於現代新加坡,俊陽(巫建和 飾)與佩瑩(Anicca Panna 飾)原本過著平靜生活,卻因女兒在公園離奇失蹤而陷入惡夢。警方介入調查之際,兩人突然收到一份神秘包裹,內含偷拍他們日常起居與親密片段的監視畫面——時間橫跨女兒失蹤前後。為追查偷拍者,警方在他們住家四周架設更多監視器,而鄰居、性格孤僻的吳先生(李康生 飾)首當其衝成為嫌疑人。然而,在無所不在的監視之下,真正被剝開的,不僅是住家隱私,更是俊陽與佩瑩彼此間深埋心底的祕密與情感裂縫。隨著敘事鏡頭愈加逼近,《默視錄》引領觀眾直視在失控世界中的自我暴露與脆弱人性。
