'Sara'S' review: Anchored by a powerful script, this simple film breaks the conventions of the feel-good template

By
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

Christopher Nolan's next titled 'Tenet'

By
The wait for Christopher Nolan's next had begun since the release of the epic war film Dunkirk in 2017. The English director has proved his cinematic elan with his highly successful films, which followed non linear story lines, elastic timelines, multiple character arcs, and mind-blowing psychological themes. Memento, The Prestige, Inception, The Dark Knight trilogy, Interstellar and Dunkirk still remain the best films, in their own genres, released in this century. His visionary film making has made him the favorite for many cinephiles, and his play with complexities, time, visuals and spectacle have become cases of study for students, scholars, and obviously movie-goers.

Christopher Nolan
Nolan fans and audiences have now learned that Nolan's next venture is titled Tenet and will be released in next year's summer on July 17, 2020. The project, which is yet to go on floors, is being described by various sources as an "action epic" and a "globetrotting adventure, whose events could unfold in seven different parts of the world." The Hollywood Reporter calls Tenet an "action epic evolving from the world of international espionage." Does sound thrilling.

 Just when the existence of the Bond saga lies in the threat of oblivion and the tentpole actor of the Mission: Impossible series, Tom Cruise, heads into inevitable retirement blues (I am his biggest fan), here's Nolan giving his signature treatment and making to the espionage genre. What the audiences will get in the summer of 2020 with Tenet are making critics all the more curious.

Makers also released the stellar cast who would the play the various roles in this big-budget, that could promise an film experience of epic scale. Usual collaborators will join hands with new entrants into the Nolan filmography. The cast will be led by John David 
Washington (Black KkKlansman), Robert Pattinson (Twilight), Elizabeth Debicki (Widows), Kenneth Branagh (Dunkirk), Clémence Poésy (In Bruges), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Dimple Kapadia (Bollywood's Bobby), and usual Nolan collaborator Michael Caine. 

Apart from the cast, the technicians who would work behind the camera for Tenet was also announced. Nolan's cinematographer collaborator Hoyte van Hoytema (Dunkirk, Interstellar) will return for Tenet. Nathan Crowley (Dunkirk) will return to design the sets for the movie, while the visual effects department will be supervised by Andrew Jackson (Mad Max: Fury Road). Tenet will mark Nolan's departure from his frequent collaborator in the music department, Hans Zimmer, who will be replaced by Oscar-winning Ludwig Göransson (Black Panther).

Reviewer-The Blog's Top 10 Films of 2015

By
  2015 saw movies that exceeded expectations, movies that were much hyped and failed to provide and some which we were sure wouldn't make the mark. Even though we saw the commercial successes of sequels, 2015 showed us that audiences and critics loved original ideas as well. There were unexpected successes and disappointing failures which gave that mixed feeling of satisfaction and frustration in the movies of 2015. Beginning with Woman in Black:Angels of Death and wrapping up with the much anticipated Star Wars:The Force Awakens, 2015 has been a year of surprises and failures, admiration and dissatisfaction.  Not to forget that 2015 was lauded by the success of female-centric films.
