Mylek (2024)
Mylek
Overall quite a simple premise, I got teary at the food truck scene.
I had recently seen Are You There God? It's Me Margaret & The Bear;
In comparison this definitely lacked the nuance of the mother's and the daughter's personal life.
But I get it, there's only so much you can stretch a budget.
The men in this movie were quintessential examples of men written by women (This was also enhanced/worsened by the subpar dubbing for the important male characters. Important to the story I mean - Vaibhav & Myra's school friend)
Priyanka I know you'll be reading this - And I say this as a friend
I need to see better dialogues for male characters (literal dialogues as well as Post treatment)in your future projects.
TLDR:
Good watch.
The Great Indian Kitchen (2021)
Excellent story arc
Loved how this isolated the specific issue of domestic work, & the perfect story arc.
Could be seen in tandem with Thappad & Portrait of a Lady on Fire to create like a masterclass of all the issues women face under patriarchy & women rights.
J'ai perdu mon corps (2019)
Change
This is a story about loss and acceptance, with stunning cinematography.
The umbrella scene was beautifully done, I wanted to see that again and again and again.
The mosquito was symbolism for a crucial change in Noufel's life. And his father had taught him to not do what the mosquito thought he would. This is where he got his theory of tricking ones fate.
The hand was symbolism for losing a part of ourselves (our personality) when going through drastic change or any change. It was buried and hidden in the beginning of the film, and we followed Noufel's inner journey of coming to terms with the reality of Gabrielle's reaction to the igloo scene. At the end when the hand reaches Noufel and Noufel again detaches it, it shows that some events in life change us irreversibly and we see Noufel accept this change in the end.
