Description:

Stephen Frears tells a tale of naked girls performing live cabaret shows at Windmill Theatre in England, introduced by Judi Dench in Mrs Henderson Presents.

Baz Luhrmann pairs Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor as a pair of star crossed lovers in Moulin Rouge, a cabaret nightclub in Paris.

Now, Royston Tan is bringing getai, a dance and sing stage performance from Singapore, which would only be performed on the Chinese seventh lunar month, onto the big screen. And he created a pair of sisters named 881.

Entitled 881, it is the pronunciation in Mandarin, which sounds like papaya, a tropical fruit. Here, we have a pair of sisters named Papaya sisters, which was named after Big Papaya (Yeo Yann Yann) and Small Papaya (Mindee Ong), who shares the same interest of listening to Hokkien songs from the late Hokkien singer Chen Jin Lang. They become good friends and with the help from Sister Ling (Liu LingLing, a popular getai host in Singapore) and her son Guan Yin (Qi Yuwu), they rise to popularity at the getai for their performance in Hokkien songs.

Soon, their popularity leads to the jealousy of Durian sisters (May and Choy, the MTV VJ in Asia), and they create troubles for Papaya sisters, which leads to the final showdown for both Papaya and Durian on the last day of Seventh month in a competition. Winners will remain in the Seventh month industry, while losers will have to stop performing forever.

Watching 881 is a rare treat for Singaporeans who loves Singapore films, after we seen several box office failures with mediocre performance and bad reviews in cinemas. For those who have previously watched Royston's 15 and 4.30, expect something different for 881, a musical cum comedy.

Firstly, the introduction was presented in the style of Jean Pierre Jeunet's Amelie. which was handled in the similar way Royston made his short film in the past. Next, as the movie discussed about getai, famous getai performers such as Wang Lei, Karen Lim, Lin Ru Ping and Liu herself were given supporting roles to made the movie more realistic and closer to the heart of Chinese Singaporeans.
