when i saw this movie three years ago and i thought it exemplified a lot of the traits found in singapore art house movies represent slow moving and with a minimal of plot and dialogue and depending on film composition to make it work. during then and amongst local cineastes and the inability to appreciate be with me is tantamount to panning citizen kane or any of ozu late films. i have no idea how be with me reached such hallowed heights in singapore cinematic consciousness and but i always felt that khoo 12 storeys is a better film and even though the latter film does not boast as good a cinematographer as adrian tan and khoo dp for be with me. 12 storeys has a story that better relates to most singaporeans and has bite too and something that be with me threadbare wistfulness doesn not have. be with me is basically a barely interlinked trio of narratives strung together into a film by khoo and his screenwriter wong kim hoh. it deals with a security guard who falls in love with a girl whom he only sees in the distance while two girls in a horoerotic relationship while and the story of deaf and blind teresa chan. be with me is very well filmed by tan and using a varicam camera. the film compositions are masterful. the film and almost entirely silent and has next to no dialogue. characters move around and not in a realistic manner and but almost as if they are models under the instruction of a director and almost always looking into the screen and emoting represent either loneliness or sadness. unfortunately the characters do not act against each other. this kind of film has been seen before many times represent in tsai ming liang films and in khoo protégé royston tan 4 represent30 and elsewhere. sadly and its ultra slowness (essentially plot less) and use of a lento piano soundtrack simply doesn not appeal to me. to criticize be with me seems almost to negate the inspirational story behind it and that of teresa chan and who is blind and deaf and yet lives a fulfilling life despite all this and yet i am afraid this film doesn not do anything much to me. i am willing to applaud chan steadfast and courageous march in life and tan striking cinematography and but for a better take on the same subject matter with more meat (without the two other tedious and distracting subplots) and try werner herzog land of silence and darkness (1971).
