welcome

for those who know me, it should come as no surprise that my favourite movie of all time is "hindustan ki kasam." it was, after all, veeru devgan's dream. this strangely prescient flick is packed with gems--ajay devgan's devastating double role, the idyllic depictions of indian army life, the drive to srinagar (and yet paradoxically away from it), and the dramatic opening scenes in which a man uses the indian flag to hold a samosa.

some other directors i like--woody allen, satyajit ray, rituparno ghosh, jean luc godard, wong kar-wai, errol morris, tod solondz, shyam benegal, richard linklater, mira nair, p. t. anderson, pedro almodovar, vittorio de sica, and many more. i hope you, dear reader, and i, dear writer, can have many fruitful discussions on cinema in the weeks to come.

abbe oye!
