This film is truly a trip! Something so specific, yet speaking of such human emotions within its story, except it does not fully embrace its empathy for the most fascinating character of 1970s Hindi cinema. Spoilers for the film below! In Montreal in Quebec, Canada the Jaiswal family is in turmoil as the mother and … Continue reading Haré Rama Haré Krishna (1971) – A Sibling Search in the Hippies Shangri-La

Agneepath (1990) – The Angry Young Man’s Last Hurrah
I was first introduced to this story by the 2012 remake of this film, and so this was my first time watching the original film.

Silsila (1981) – Affairs of the Heart in Real and Reel Life
There were many times in the past when I tried to watch this film, but could not, and stopped right at the beginning.

Persepolis (2007) – Memoirs of an Iranian Exile
I have always loved graphic novels/comic books, but when reading this story for the first time it truly opened my eyes. Previously, I had seen the world through the eyes of comics like W.I.T.C.H., Disney Princess, Winx Club, Archie and Donald Duck or from mangas. My first graphic novel/comic book which I realized was meant … Continue reading Persepolis (2007) – Memoirs of an Iranian Exile

Sabrina (1954) – Cinderella in Givenchy
Sometimes you just have to write about a film which you don’t fully love, but like enough to watch occasionally. This is that kind of movie for me, it is not the best by the director, nor the best in the main actress's filmography, but it is still a dish served well and wittily enough … Continue reading Sabrina (1954) – Cinderella in Givenchy
