"The film is set at a restaurant, and the teaser reveals that Yeoh's playing: "The Critic," "The Hawker," "The Waitress," "The Vlogger," and "The Singer." Of course, Yeoh playing all these women recalls her Oscar-winning performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once. Here, though, she gets to interact with herself - the waitress picking up food orders from the hawker while the annoying vlogger sits down to eat."
"The trailer for Sean Baker's upcoming short film, Sandiwara (his first project since he won three Oscars for ), dropped today and it's full of Yeoh. Baker developed Sandiwara, which is set in Penang, Malaysia, as part of the fashion brand Self-Portrait's Residency program. Like Yeoh, Self-Portrait founder Hon Chang is Malaysian. The short will make its world premiere as part of the Berlinale's special screenings on February 13 before becoming available everywhere February 20."
Michelle Yeoh portrays multiple distinct characters in Sean Baker's short film Sandiwara, including The Critic, The Hawker, The Waitress, The Vlogger, and The Singer. The film is set in a restaurant in Penang, Malaysia and features Yeoh interacting with her own characters, such as the waitress picking up orders from the hawker while the vlogger eats. Each role showcases radically different looks, notably a vlogger with bright-pink hair and a high-glamour singer. Sandiwara was developed as part of fashion brand Self-Portrait's Residency program; its founder Hon Chang is also Malaysian. The short premieres at Berlinale special screenings on February 13 and becomes widely available on February 20.
