Amour (2012)
9/10
A meditation on death, decrepitude and old age
3 February 2021
As Philip Roth summarized it succinctly, "Old age isn't a battle: old age is a massacre." The same ruthlessness of the forces of nature towards the end of a person's life irrespective of the circumstances to which they lived the life, has been shown brilliantly with such heartbreaking precision that it's hard not to ponder upon life and ultimately upon death. The nihilism is visible in the portrayal as well, the outside world incognizant of the turmoil within and thus the ultimate meaninglessness of it all. The meditation gets as powerful as it could through the lives of Anne and George, whom we we get to know very little of of their past lives except some basic certain facts . This could be due to the fact that death is inevitable and in the face of death nothing even matters, just the emotions of people involved in it firsthand and the seemly/unseemly void glaring back at us.

Weed 4:20 (2018)
10/10
A web series of such an acute peculiarity to our own 'high' college life is worth a watch!
13 June 2018
The web series starts with such a conundrum that it takes you a while to grasp the pace and the transition of events taking place in the series. Swift way of dealing with the moving of the plot from point to point is highly engrossing and entertaining. Even though the series is made by the college students wholly by themselves as is evident by watching but the sheer talent of the makers, in all the fronts are worth an applaud. Watch it if you'd like to relive or peek into the world of Indian college weed life. The screenplay, the dialogues are all at the same time relevant, entertaining, funny and evocative. All the good luck to the makers for the extraordinary future.
