Anantaram (1987)
8/10
One of the best Indian films ever

Warning: Spoilers
Before Tarantino even started thinking about non-linear narration, Adoor made it happen in Kerala. This film uses that particular kind of narration for a purpose too. The entire film makes sense once you finish watching it. I am lacking words to praise the courage Adoor showed to create a film from the point of view of an insane person.

There are technical imperfections in the film, but with the limited budget that was accessible for the director, he has done a great job. It has been such a difficult task to find a copy of this amazing film, but finally managed to find it n youtube. Adoor Gopalakrishnan's films are watched at home only by true film lovers who take the craft seriously. It is a shame for our civilization that quality art is unrecognized most of the time.
