EMULSION tells the story of a dejected salesman who is inadvertently drawn into a dangerous blackmail scheme that forces him to fight for control a life he never thought was worth living. Painting a murky film noir world where no one is exactly as they appear, Emulsion follows Dane Allen as he evolves from an utterly forgettable cog into a potent activist who brings the powers that be to their knees. It is a story of discovery, manipulation and the never-ending struggle between complacency and self-actualization.

Not usually a fan of this genre however the twists and turns that lead the viewer to the story's resolution makes this a satisfying experience. The plot keeps you guessing as you are caught up in Ronny Maze's distress played so deftly by Sam Heughan. This is one of those films that is worth watching again and again because there is always a hint or a clue or a well-placed prop still to be discovered. Visually it is subtle enough to convey the sense of alternate reality with the pops of color reminding you that something is afoot. A challenging and interesting journey for the viewer with excellent acting of a full range of emotions by Sam with a no-frills production that delivers. Still thinking about the aftermath of Ronny's experience and whether anyone actor can walk away untouched by the parts that he/she plays.

Achingly beautiful the movie, in addition to being visually arresting, is a very satisfying puzzle. Sam Heughan is perfectly cast as the bereft husband desperately seeking his missing wife. A gorgeous example of Film Noir Suki Singh's Emulsion brings to mind both David Lynch and Raymond Chandler.The movie succeeds on the finely honed emotional depth of Sam Heughan's acting skills and the heartbreaking appeal of his nearly classical physical beauty. The supporting cast turn in very creditable performances as the puzzle evolves.Finally, I can't say enough about the cinematography; Suki Singh has created a perfectly measured dreamlike treat for the senses. If this was a book, it would be a page turner.

*****Possible Spoilers****** Was lucky enough to attend the Scottish premier of Emulsion recently, and I will admit I went originally because of Sam Heughan and purposefully had not read or watched anything in advance that could spoil my enjoyment on the night.Well, wow - what a great surprise. Focusing on Ronny Maze's search for his beautiful wife, who mysteriously disappears in the middle of the night it just flowed seamlessly. Twisting and turning throughout the film and leaving as many questions at the end as at the beginning!It was atmospheric, moody, fantastically well acted and surprising. The costumes, lighting & locations all perfect.I thoroughly enjoyed it and the Q&A at the end with both Sam and Suki was an added bonus. I hope this film gets the exposure it deserves and wish Suki & all the very best of luck

Emulsion is a must see again film. I have seen it twice and would happily see it again. Suki Singh's low budget film is full of story twists and turns, the locations of filming all add to the unsettling atmosphere. In your mind there are lots of questions forming as the story progresses. Sam Heughan totally becomes 'Ronny' - the emotions and frustrations of the storyline are all so convincing and believable. I saw it in a cinema with a lot of people, we were all spellbound total silence, not a whisper was heard! This film deserves to be seen by a wider audience. Suki Singh deserves greater recognition of his talent.
