She struggles to find her independence and space even as she is sucked deeper into the labyrinthine politics of the city’s underbelly. A city that feeds on her misery, a love that eludes her and above all, a devastating truth that she must encounter. And everyone wants a piece of her.

Doodle bug- the short and all about inception.

Everybody knew Christopher Nolan's first feature is The Following. Following shot with a shoe string budget and non professional actors was edited, photographed, produced and directed by Chris Nolan. Even before Following, Chris Nolan made a short called Doodle bug.

Good & Bad films

There are always two kind of films Good films & Bad films. Its doesnt matter if its a short , docu or a feature. It also doesnt matter if its commerical or Art. I watched Hari's singam and Juan Antonio Bardem's the death of a cyclist at the same day within a space of 8 hours. The death of a cyclist is a key film in spanish film making history as it had a story that worked for me on several layers. Each and every cinema must have a great setup in the first five minutes and a dramatic ending according to syd field, the GOD in screenplays. Death of a cyclist exactly had the same combined with an excellent multi layered script and inspiring performances specially from the female lead. The unexpected suspense happens once everything gets solved. The beauty of this film in its last twenty minutes. Do watch it if you have a copy or download one. Dont even try buying one, you cant find it. :(

Coming to singam, Like all Hari films its built around 50 characters with one big band of villians. This is Suirya at his best. Suirya is the numero Uno in my book. He does everything comfortably well. It's pure commercialism with interesting scenes. Leave alone the editing and Music and cinematography the film looks like a decent outing. It also proves that no matter whatever the content is , It also doesnt matter if its beleivable or not, a good packing will work at the box office.

I watched Life in a metro recently for the upteenth time, still i am falling in love with the film even though one part of it is lifted from the Hollywood classic The Apartment. All the characters have done

a wonderful job and made the performances look effortless.

darren afnosky

A film can be well made with a shoe string budget of 60,000$ , a finest example is darren afnosky's Pi.

This film is basically about a mathematician trying to find a relation with Pi. Its a process of discovery and self discovery. Shot in Black and white with a pixellite kind

of a look. Its really fascinating to find out how Afnosky's mind works. He goes for a debut with a bizzare kind of a script seasoned with a noirish look and excellent performances.

I have'nt seen any film noir shot this beautifully off late. The music is heavy and metal with uncharacteristic sounds throughout the film. I was also struck by the use of Voice Overs, I meant the visual was aesthetic to the voice overs. Fade to white was also used liberally in the movie. After an inspiring debut, he came with a cult film Requim for a dream, another sensational film, truly one of the films that blew my mind starring jared leto and jennifer connely . Its all about drugs, drugs and drugs alone. Great Soundtrack , Great performances, low key lighting, fast cuts and one excellent script combined to form requim for a dream under the master's vision .

Watch out this space for more :)
