The Hungry (2017)
Bold & Hollow
So interesting in parts, often jarring, extremely detailed visuals, all so alluring, but it felt tad far fetched by the time the credits rolled.
I haven't read the original, but this slow-paced vehicle didn't seem to lock down on a speed till the very end. The film hangs tightly onto its visual appeal, and jumps between time with commendable grace. The contemporary setting confuses the viewer in the beginning, then gradually makes you forget the your own world.
The various single-shots supported by gripping music add on to the drama of this piece.
Overall, its certainly worth a watch for a dark-themed Indian film!
Mozart in the Jungle (2014)
Entertaining, Genuine and Beautiful
A fluent, unapologetic and genuine show that doesn't try too hard. Ah, the drama, the humour and the romance.
I might have developed a man-crush on Gael Garcia Bernal. The show is so light and genuine, that it almost reminds me of the fluency Louis CK had attained in Louie. It keeps the surprises coming without a synth forcing you into it. The characters believably seem like family as you delve into the show. The characters are like a Delta-4 start up idea in business. They don't need to be sold much. Its the ecstasy I felt when I watched my first sitcom, 'How I met your mother' when I was 15. Goodstuff, Amazon. Goodstuff.
