Being Cyrus (2005)
An awful movie
It's an awful movie. - There is no story whatsoever. Attempts have been made to capture the psyche of people and make a movie - fails miserably. The links are broken and there is no logical flow to the film. Cyrus walks into a Parsi family,and tries to see thru the psyche of that family - 2 brothers,their wives,and the father.He finally kills the father and elder son, for weirdly complicated reasons dating back to his childhood.The other son and his wife are charged for the murders.He walks out and feels he is free again.There is no head or tail to the movie. Do not know what was the hype about.Its a different movie - yes, but leaves no mark of its own.
Titli (2002)
Nice movie for those fond of parallel cinema
Titli - thats what the movie is titled.. its the name of a teenage girl in the film - Aparna Sen's daughter in the movie.. The film beautifully captures the growing up crushes and sensitivity of teenagers.. also the portrayal of mother-daughter relationship and quiet understanding in the end is shown simply and beautifully.. This girl has a crush on a filmstar, Mithun. She and her mom happen to meet him on a trip and Titli is on cloud nine.. only to discover later that Mithun had been her mom's past.. The setting on the film is good too, with rocks and valleys.. gives a fresh breath to the film. I would strongly recommend seeing it..
