For those happy to stay home, we highly recommend Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story, a tender, bittersweet look at how a marriage falls apart. It’s one of the year’s best movies (IMO), complete with superb acting, casting and writing, starring Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver.

If that’s too heavy for you, there’s also the new fantasy series The Witcher, that’s been filling the void Game of Thrones left behind – and then some. Henry Cavill (of Superman fame), who plays the titular Witcher (a monster hunter) is surely reason enough to tune in.

Love everything Japan and #slowlife? Then you can’t miss out on local artisan label/collective Soma Folk which hosts occasional pop-up experiences that invite people to check out their wares – think hand-dyed tote bags, aprons, dresses and assorted accessories fashioned out of fabrics such as hemp and linen. At their pop-ups, you can also expect hand-crafted furniture and small ceramic pieces for sale, alongside homemade delicacies such as tea and cake.

Located at Bukit Timah Junkyard, it’s a remote location to be sure, but the one-of-a-kind experience when you reach will make the trek totally worth it. Details here.

If you have yet to catch the ongoing Singapore Biennale, here’s a great chance to do so. It’s one of the biggest and most important contemporary art shows in the region, featuring more than 70 artists and collectives from over 20 countries and the good news is, the Biennale is spread out over 11 spaces around the island so there’s bound to be a location that’s relatively easy to get to. Pictured above is Malaysian artist Sharon Chin’s In the Skin of a Tiger: Monument to What We Want (Tugu Kita), currently on display at the National Gallery Singapore.

If you’ve yet to catch Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite, you’re really missing out. Despite its sci-fi-y name, the parasite in question refers to two Korean families – one upper class and the other, bottom feeders of society. The latter installs themselves into the former’s luxurious home (literally) through ingenious means but the whole movie is really a shrewd commentary into class divides in Korean culture. Parasite is one of the strongest contenders for the Oscars in 2020 – and should it end up clinching the Best Picture award, it would be the first foreign-language movie in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards to do so.
