Jude Anthany Joseph's third feature, after Ohm Shanti Oshana and Oru Muthassi Gadha, released on Prime Video at midnight today. This seemingly feel-good film, also seemingly made in limited spaces and with a shoestring budget, tackles a concept and issue never tested before in Malayalam cinema circles. In Sara'S, we follow the life of Sara Vincent (Anna Ben), a young, bubbly, yet unapologetic filmmaker who struggles to make it big in the industry. She continuously assists male directors and is in the scripting works of her dream film. Sara has decided, from her school days, that she would not bear any kids. This is when she meets Jeevan (Sunny Wayne); her relationship with him subsequently brings her ideology and decision into a confrontation with the established norms of society, family and child-rearing. Anna Ben in Sara'S The best aspect in which Sara'S has excelled, without doubt, is its hard-hitting taut script. Debutant Akshay Hareesh deserves praise for managin...
A film by Christopher Nolan on a monumental event in world history promised moviegoers an immersive theatrical experience.
A whopping number of 400,000 British soldiers are stranded on Dunkirk beach, a site flanked by German warships and fighter planes. Commander Bolton (Kenneth Branagh) carries the onus of adventurously evacuating the colossal populace of troopers, which becomes a herculean task, even when "they can practically see it from there-home." Nolan deftly weaves in three different story-lines, centering around the historically significant beach of Dunkirk. The historic victory of the British civilian population even when the army faced a "colossal military disaster" is depicted with the required patriotism; however that is justified with Nolan's atrocious portrayal of the unspeakable horrors the hapless soldiers faced while in their tryst with fate and survival.
Even though Dunkirk is Nolan's first gamble with a historical war epic, he handles the screenplay with such perfection that makes this movie one of Hollywood's most talented storyteller's best creation and the most perfect war movie ever made. He dexterously emphasizes on the technical aspects of this film, which testifies the perfection in the cinematographic and sound departments that enriches the moviegoer with a wonderful theatrical affair.
Just as always, the Nolan-Hans Zimmer collaboration works out just perfectly. Though different from their previous outings, the Zimmer composes the movie's soundtrack with stupendous dexterity that accentuates the ominous and horrific scenes Nolan shot, thanks to yet another talented artist, Hoyte Van Hoytema, the genius behind the camera. Hoytema skillfully sways his 70mm camera through the smoke-filled clouds, the conflict-ridden seas and the constantly bombed land. Lee Smith (who won the Academy Award for his work in Dunkirk) shines with his impeccable editing. A class director who has proved his expertise in the field of directing, Nolan coordinates all the departments in this epic aesthetically, like a composer coordinating his orchestra.
With minimal dialogues, beautiful frames, gripping scenes, jaw-dropping music and of all, Nolan's sophisticated direction, Dunkirk becomes one of those landmark movies which are worthy to be etched in the annals of cinema history, as the best war time epic ever made.
