From the slightly twisted mind of filmmaker Joseph Tan comes Gangsters in Love - a classic tale of betrayal and unrequited love set amidst a firework show of animation and original music. GiL is a totally unique take on the gangster genre, an exploration of murder, mystery and vengeance that takes place in a world not unlike our own. Dubbed as the ultimate in Flash animation, this colourful innovation of a film is perfectly unashamed when it comes to revelling in its kitsch influences. GiL, as it's come to be known, tips it's hat in reverence to everything from anime to disco and makes no apologies for its subsequent abuse of arising stereotypes. As for whether *you'll* like it? That's for you to judge! This movie and its maker are not asking you to question its motives or its techniques. They're not asking you to take up a pen and paper and give them marks out of ten for professionalism. They don't want you to raise an eyebrow at something that might look out of place - in this chaotic Tarantino/Roger Rabbit induced dream world, it's all out of place anyway. Gangsters in Love and its very own Dr Frankenstein Joseph Tan merely ask that you sit back, switch off your brain and enjoy the ride...oh, and most of all, do not, under any circumstances, take them seriously!
