Dreamland is where the attempt of such trapped beings to break away and live their dreams, is captured and where they are left to face the consequences of trying to upset the systematic compulsions – All presented in a touching fashion!
A slow realistic drama with engaging performances - and interestingly etched characters.
A spaghetti western shootout with little-to-no story that is watchable primarily because of the exquisite camera work. In spite of being ultra-slow at the start, the film builds up the pace as it moves towards the end.
In the Mood for Love is a poetic, subtle tale of relationships, that kindles the untold romance within you while at the same time being never on the melodramatic side.
Naya Pata is certainly a noble attempt at chronicling the pain of migrating from a village to a city but it could have been so much more had the pacing issues been taken care of.
‘Two Days One Night’ is a slow yet gritty account of a lady’s quest to keep her job captured in ultra-realistic fashion raising pertinent questions on humanity. While it is not highly engaging, it is worth a watch for Marion Cotillard who proves once again why she is one the finest actors around.
Harishchandrachi Factory is a wonderfully made tribute to Dadasaheb Phalke. It is an essential film which throws light on the struggles, undertaken by countless individuals headed by Phalke, for the medium of cinema to percolate into the Indian society.
Amélie’s core story is built up with a profound child-like innocence which is very difficult to translate on screen. It is very much evident that such perfection has been achieved as it has become one of those films that never fails to bowl you over even after repeated viewings.
A super-cop, a dreaded don, a gorgeous heroine, a high-comic quotient and the hero avenging the death of this brother – sounds more like a movie from the 80s, huh??? Aagadu isn’t a movie that promises you a lot different from the other commercial products of this genre – yet this isn’t one that can be missed. Sit back and be prepared to be entertained.
The film vividly captures the contrasting nature of forests - its superficial beauty & the dangerous powers seen as one goes deep inside and connects that beautifully with how humans based in contrasting setups can still share a deep-rooted bonding.
