It’s the best compliment because he had this way of breaking our pre made constructs of what cinema can be.

Like most students who come in to film schools usually have this pre conceived notion of what their kind of cinema already is but not what it could be.

He shot this film and pretty much retired to teaching after it because he wasn’t really finding the sort of collaborators he wanted work with.

The best one I can give actually.

Last year at Marienbad, elephant and now this. You have the same exact taste as my HoD in film school. 😂

Adding it to the never ending watchlist.

What movie is this from?

Yep you should definitely watch the original. One of my dad’s all time favourites and that man is harder to please than me when it comes to movies.

I quite liked “The last duel”. Haven’t seen Napoleon and Gladiator yet, although I’m very interested in checking them out.

😅 I guess so. But these last six months have been so hectic.

I just want like a week to myself where I just sit and watch films. 😭

I’ve also been very starved for this kind of cinema this year because I couldn’t go to any of the film festivals this year because of work. 😭

Definitely a lot of influences in Payal’s film but the influences never felt derivative for me and fit the story, themes and characters she was trying to explore.

Happened to me recently when I kept jumping between GoW Ragnarok and Control because I was in a hurry to play both before my shoot starts.

Couldn’t complete playing either game and now I’m on the road for the next 20 days. 😭

Absolutely loved the film but then again I might be biased because the film shares the same love hate relationship I have with Bombay as a city. Would love to hear more from you on why it didn’t work for you.

Meanwhile Todd Howard with Creation Engine 2

Oh that guy aa. In my experience always be vary of Jadavpur Uni peeps.
