Raffles Hotel

About This Movie

Raffles Hotel is an interesting drama that dives into the complexities of love and longing. The story centers on Moeko, who arrives in Singapore with a camera in hand, searching for Kariya, the man she once loved. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia and unfulfilled desires, and the settings—particularly the Raffles Hotel itself—add a layer of poignancy to her quest. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional weight to settle before you, and the moments of tension are palpable, especially when she confronts the reality of Kariya's life. There's something haunting about the performances, especially Moeko’s, which bring a raw vulnerability to the narrative. It’s this blend of longing and the stark reality of love that makes it feel distinctive.
