We are tonight’s entertainment !!

 Prisoners was the second movie that I watched of Villeneuve after "Incendies". I remembered enjoying it but have almost forgotten the plot as it was a long time ago. Last week, I with a couple of friends of mine plan to watch this thriller again.  Prisoners is an intense movie which keeps you at the edge of your seats till the end.  To start with story telling, it captures your attention right from the beginning. It has a monotonous dark tone in the beginning although the scenes are more of a happy tone which makes you anxious to the main crux of the movie. The cinematic style of wide angle shots which is a classic trick of Villeneuve is already visible in this movie. Villeneuve does a fantastic job in adding symbolism at the appropriate points of the movie. In one shot, the character of Hugh Jackman  (spoiler warning !!) comes in the driveway after interrogating "Alex" and the shadow of the red headlights create an image of blood trail behind symbolizing the crime

  Being a huge fan of Brünel since I came across Un Chien Andalou, I was excited to have a chance to watch the movie : Brünel in the Labyrinth of Turtles at a theater in my city, Essen in Germany. Based on the journey of his making of the documentary Las Hurdes, this animated movie is a masterpiece in each and every aspect of what a cinema should be. It made me deeply think about myself for quite sometime on my way back to home. First of all the story is amazing in its own right. The juxtaposition of the then scenario of Spain with surrealism and witty humour is a perfect blend to keep you engaged with the cinema. The animation is astonishing with great visuals of dream sequences. The mixture of actual version of the movie Las Hurdes with the animation just makes you a part of his whole journey of how he made this film. The music is fantastic in its own right and has perfect tones at various emotional stages of the movie. All together, a complete mixture of all emotions with deep mess

 On 11th November, 2019, I was really lucky to watch the amazing documentary titled "Marianne and Leonard : Words of Love". As you might have already guessed, it is about the love story of the great Leonard Cohen and his muse Marianne. As a fan of this person since a couple of years, this documentary enlightened me more about the brilliant aspects and more specifically the darker aspects of this person. Starting from his journey at Hydra at 60's ( a mesmerizing place in Greece) to his recent concerts in 2010 after he left the monastery, the film showcases all the different emotions and hardships this person has gone through. Filled with interviews of people close to him, the documentary grinds you down to reality and how various circumstances make even the beautiful stories bitter. At the end, it made me cry like a river. Do watch this if you are able to find it online or in nearby cinemas. This person's journey is a hell of a movie with rollercoaster emotions in i
