In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones (1989 TV) – Life is Not Made to Be Designed

February 4, 2022February 4, 2022 ~ Kirre Ranin ~ 4 Comments

I found about this film in a funny twist of coincidence (don't know if the wording is right but it feels so). I have been reading the non-fiction articles and essays of Arundhati Roy, loving her way with words and strong opinions.

Lagaan was made by Indians for Indians as well as Westerners, this movie though, was meant … Continue reading Monsoon Wedding (2001) – Intimate Story of Love Inside a Realistic Wedding
