I wasn’t planning to write a review of I Don’t Want To Sleep Alone since I was so tired I slept through a significant part of it, but the 60 percent of the film I saw still haunts me. I missed all the connections, didn’t get the storyline, but the cinematography and the treatment of […]
Note: The film is being screened again on the 29th at 10am at Siri Fort (I intend to watch it again) so spoilers after “More”(below).
She & He is a film about limits which frequently makes that leap into the surreal with the incorporation of absurdist elements. It’s clearly a writers films with short, sharp and […]
Attended a discussion on Devdas at Cinefan (hadn’t intended to, but I was given the wrong ticket), where Meghnad Desai compared the three versions of Devdas that he has seen (the sign at the ticket counter said “Devdas is not a film, it’s a discussion). Among other things, he mentioned that Dilip Kumar was under […]
New year, same old problems. I walked into Siri Fort 1to watch Mizoguchi’s Sansho the Bailiff, to find someone arguing with the organizers about being allowed to take a bottle of water inside. It’s entirely random - they allow water in for some shows, not for others.
Later, when I went to buy tickets for a […]
Really looking forward to the Cinefan film fest (21st - 29th). This year, films are also being screened at two PVRs - Rivoli and Plaza, so that’s tempting since they’re just a metro ride from home for me. However, most films are being screened at Siri Fort, so I’m probably just going to hang out […]

Like Adi said, looks like the deal with the devil didn’t work out. Which deal? This one:

(This is one of the BMW short movies, a series which apparently saw over a million downloads. How’s that for creating a buzz? The movie also stars Clive Owen and Gary […]

No, I’m not.
An FTII based team of filmmakers is making a documentary on how to get within three feet of Jolie and speak to her for three minutes. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are in Pune, staying, it seems, at Le Meridien. The paparazzi of the world are on a stake-out in Pune.
So, how is […]
Wonderful cinematic experience. Apart from a couple of songs, not a boring moment in the movie. Both Saif Ali Khan and Konkana Sen Sharma are brilliant…the chap who played Roderigo, the one whom Saif’s Langda Tyagi (Iago) manipulates was also very believable. Can’t get enough of Konkana Sen Sharma - she had even made Mixed […]
The basic message of Makhmalbaf’s latest, The Scream of the Ants (Shaere Zobale-Ha) is as follows:
The Scream of the Ants starts promisingly enough: An Iranian couple wait, with the wife sitting on a chair and the husband loitering about, in the middle of a railway track. The wife has a glove stuck to her face […]
[Note: spoilers, but this storyline has been used ten trillion, sixty seven thousand times, approximately]
As much as I’d like to be critical of Climates’ predictable storyline, and seemingly restrained performances, I really liked it. At the Cinefan film fest, most of the movies that I enjoyed featured characters who were mature and somewhat subdued: a […]
