soon. is grand master out on dvd? and good u reminded me i missed "fallen angles" will chk it out soon thanks films from recent times.Shot in stunning black and white with occasional bursts of colour in the flash forward,it's a great debut for Lankosz.Hope he is able to live up to his instant 'cult' status in the years to come.The performance of Agata Buzek as the central protagonist is of the 'once viewed never forgotten' kind.She will find it hard to get another role,or deliver another performance quite like this one.
ne of the things I noticed in several films at IFFI is that not every one knows how to tell a story.In the worst films the narration seemed to be moving at a snail's pace,the characters never acquired a distinct persona and after 20-30 minutes of turgid cinema,many in the audience were walking out,seeking better horizons in the other auditoriums at the Inox.Since there were multiple films running at the same time and admission was free,a film had to be really good to keep the audience hooked to their seats.
cries and whispers was almost completely shot in indoor may be it was done purposely so he can save the beautiful outdoor location for the climax which was completely different from the rest of the scenes in the movie! 
hogged the limelight. i did a small a 9 month course in a film school since then i don't believe in any film school in the world. judging someones art telling them to write scripts on Hollywoods master key 3 act structure formula telling how to direct this shot men this this angles means that is all bullshit for me i don't believe in all this! i march to my own drummer! 
India don't really have films of their own i mean the way we make films we use a structure for writing a film its a formula to keep the audience engaged its called Hollywoods "3 act structure" its a formula which works most of the time! story's are different in film's of India and America but its been told in the same 'structure; way hence all this films fell the same hence the name Hollywood Bollywood. but that dosent mean i dont like watching indian and american films i love them but i think there is a reason why hollywood use such structures they make movies on a massive scale and they cant afford the losses afterall they invented film and America is a film capital of the world . after so much studies, thinking and watching one film per day made me realize one thing cinema is not about the story its about the "image" because images tell the story and for me if the image of the film is bad then the story is bad dosent matter how great its written! if u want to enjoy story's u should read a novel i worked for a hindi feature film last year as an assistant director it was an awesome cinematic experience i ever had in my life i jumped like a baby when i was called on dubbing and dolby digital mixing only camera our man was aware of films which we watch he told me about wong kar wai.

Imagine a situation where I, on Ajay's recommendation read Dostoevsky,Kafka,Ibsen and Camus and a week down the line, I start drinking too much, my grades crash, I shun company and conversation and my wife seeing all this starts thinking that I am having an affair to remember !!! hehe @ss(f)Suri, Ajay,
As you very well know, I have little understanding of Heaven, Hell, God, Classical Cinema, Classical Books, Philosophers and their philosophies. Hence, I find it quite easy to make fun of them.
You guys can kill me the day after tomorrow as on the morrow I have a Rum and Coke Date with a friend.
That is a lot better. Or is it ?
Yes, most definitely, all the books and movies that Ajay recommends should come with a disclaimer ... hehe.
Ok you can bring out the shotguns now. :lol:
Regards,
@ss
