    Mike Nichols @ MOMA
    NYTimes covers the Mike Nichols retrospective at MOMA. Luminous words from the man himself “The greatest thrill is that moment when a thousand people are sitting in the dark, looking at the same scene, and they are all apprehending something that has not been spoken. That’s the thrill of it, the miracle — that’s what holds us to movies forever. It’s what we wish...

    Heaven on Earth?
    Perhaps the only Deepa Mehta film which failed to engage me was the “oscar nominated” Water, helped no doubt by its best looking wooden leading pair. But then again, with the safron brigade raising its aggireved voice trembling at the very thought of another Mehta film tarnishing their age old moral code, the cast itself and the location was her second choice. The...

    Conversation Series – Screenplay cheating or great cinematic ambitions?
    Dazed & Confused ———- Action and Dialogue. That’s what a screenplay should contain. You don’t have the luxury to write what you want, only what the audience can see or hear. That makes a screenplay less readable than your average novel. But to do otherwise, would be cheating or a great challenge cinematically. See below, an extract from...

    Gulaal Review Out
    Full Economic Times Review Excerpts Gulaal follows a multidimensional narrative and Kashyup adopts a dark, brooding and relentless storytelling pattern that doesn’t simplify the dense plot Kashyup’s treatment is such that none of the characters are distinctively defined, introduced or established. As a keen viewer, you are expected to acclimatize to each of...

    Soderbergh Speaks ON Che
    Scott Tobias from the AV Club interviews Steven Soderbergh on his biopic Che. With the biopic Che, about the iconic revolutionary Che Guavara, Soderbergh has gone out on a limb again. Presenting what could generously be called a distribution challenge, the four-hour-plus film has been divided into two parts: The first, “The Argentine,” follows Che (Benicio...

    Hell make that the year or even the last few years if you want and it still holds true!

    Heroes in the Dark- The Dark Knight!
    It amazed me no end that someone would try a equivalent of professional hara-kiri by redoing any film of Tim Burton. But Nolan did and gave such a fresh breath to the franchise with Batman Begins that The Dark Knight was the most anticipated film of the year!! He began with elan, is making merry with the knight and the journey has just begun. And I am being extremely balanced...
