February MUST WATCH - Five Directors and their films!

1) Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu- Mexican Film maker. Catch his Amores Perros, 21 grams and babel.

Amores perros- This highly acclaimed film is set in Mexico City. Three individuals are connected by the event of a violent car crash. 

21 grams-  Quite like Alejandro's previous film, Amores perros (2000), 21 Gram  interweaves many plots. Interestingly lines overlap around a tragic automobile accident.

 Babel- This is a truly international movie. The film portrays multiple stories taking place in Morocco, Japan, Mexico and the United States.






2) Satyajit Ray- Indian Bengali Film maker. A genius and a realist Ray gave some mind blowing films to the world of Cinema.Pather Panchali, Apur Sansar and Aparajito .


Pather Panchali or story of the road by Satyajit Ray is funny, real and poignant. A trend setter of its time its a must watch for all film buffs. If you were close brothers and sisters. If you played pranks on each other but covered each other's back all the time. This is a must see. The other two movies are part of a great trilogy. What happens when the little Apu grows up and enters the real world? A story of childhood, adolscence and adulthood. A story of love, loss and hope. A must see.



3) Wong Kar Wai is a Hong Kong wave filmmaker. He is renowned as an esthete for his visually unique, suberbly stylised, emotionally resonant work. 

'Happy Together' and 'In the mood for Love' are our special recommendations. Same Sex Romance at its best. Wong Kar Wai is a social communicator with remarkable cinematic prowess.

4) Michael Hanecke- Catch his psychological thrillers which are killers!!:)Funny Games and White Ribbon. See these if you admire choreography of violence.



5) Gus Green Van Sant- Good Will Hunting is a personal favourite of some of us here. Story of a genius mathematician who picks up small life skills on the way. We have all heard of Milk!! but have we watched it?? Catch it! Learn from it! And grow to be more sensitive!:)
