  • Passage : Shekhar Kapur’s film respects every single audience
    Passage is not a conventional film in an ordinary sense but it does not produce any acatalepsy at all, rather it is so open to interpretation that different audiences may draw different conclusions from whole or parts of the film. Passage represents his artistic expression more than any other film Shekhar Kapur has made till now. Technical cinematic skills and understanding...

    In his Oscar acceptance speech, ARR said, “Ella Pughazhum Eraivanukke” along with that other gem from Deewar. A PFC author asked what it meant in Tamizh, and several authors translated it along the lines of “All Praise to the Almighty.” I added my nuanced (aka BS) translation, and said that it actually means, “Don’t praise me, praise...
