Continue reading →: The Taste of Things (2023) – Lovingly Crafted Relationship Between Love, Passion and French Cuisine
A film which makes you hungry for both life and French cuisine, best enjoyed with a full stomach! Spoilers for the film below! In 1889 in a country estate in Maine-et-Loire, France, Eugénie worked as a cook for Dodin, a gourmet who loved her cooking, as well as her as…

A film that is not made for everyone, so proceed with caution if you have a sensitivity to those things, and one where even if the yellow might seem like a happy color, it is more a manifestation of the corrupt world this film is set in. Spoilers for the…

This is a re-review, since the one I made of this film was not the best, or did not dig deeper into its themes as I probably should. I have matured and this was one of those early reviews I made eons ago, so it would be good to just…

Continue reading →: Black Girl (1966) – Recreation of Colonial Exploitation in a Domestic Tragedy
A very meaningful film with a lot of empathy and a heartbreaking ending. A miniscule recreation of the past within the present, bringing forth a story which is as striking as it is unflinching. Spoilers for the film below! The film flashes back between past and present, the following summary…

Continue reading →: Sangharsh (1999) – The Silence of the Lambs with Religion and Romance
A film which was acclaimed at its time has now become as sour as bad milk, aging horribly as the times have gone by, no matter the technical excellence of the film itself. So yeah, even with a woman director at the helm the progressiveness only goes so much when…

This is one of my favorite movies made by the director, and is one I have returned to time and time again, even though the subject matter is not anything comforting or cozy. Far from it. So yeah, this film might not make sense to me as much as it…

Continue reading →: Mirzya (2016) – Merging of Past, Present, Poetry and Poetic Cinema
This is one of my favourite films of all time, and I thought it deserved a re-review, since my original one did not fully capture everything I love about this film. It must have been the first Indian art house adjacent film I watched, and I instantly fell in love…

Continue reading →: The Blue Umbrella (2005) – A Story of Possessions and Human Kindness
An underrated children’s film from a director better known for his Shakespeare adaptations, and one which deserves more love, even though it is a rather simple story. It is beautifully done, filled with more quiet moments of tranquility than flashy moments just to keep the child interested in watching the…

A film which is full of beauty, textured with sand dunes, the blue open sky over the Thar desert, and red hot blood inside men who fight, while the women sacrifice. A film so beautiful it deserves more appreciation, even if the story is a familiar one, with a timeless…

A film which I have wanted to see for a long time, and finally did. I am glad I watched it, but this will be a one time watch, see the reasons below. Spoilers for the film below! In 1992, Aayat and her aunt Fatima escaped from Kashmir due to…
