I chose this small-budget Queer Japanese film about two lonely girls in a small town with silent battles of emotion inside of them as they discover what they want from life.

Iyer, a Tamil Brahmin, is travelling on a bus to Kolkata with her baby, and where she meets Jehangir "Raja" Chowdhury, a Bengali photographer. When on their … Continue reading Mr. and Mrs. Iyer (2002) – Tolerance in the Midst of a Cycle of Revenge
