Asian Film Festival - Pune (Day 2)

15 Park Avenue -

Could not see it from the beginning. The movie deals about a Schizophrenic patient's search for a non existent 15 Park Avenue in Calcutta, played aptly by Konkana Sen supported by Shabana as her sister and Rahul Bose as her ex-fiance.

Desperado Square -

The first Israeli movie that i have watched till date. Reminded me a little bit off Cinema Paradiso. This movie is about two brothers who want to open a theatre of their dad's and uncle's, which has been closed for the last 30 years. The last movie that was played in that theatre was Sangam, as you can guess the brothers also want to open the theatre with the screening of Sangam,. But the problem they have is, the print of the movie is with their uncle and he does not want to give it to the brothers. A movie has a few bollywood songs in the background, a good watch, recommended.

Slit eyes -

Again the first Malay movie that i have watched. An interracial love story between a Malay girl and a Chinese boy. The director packs in a lot of stuff, young romance, interracial conflicts, inner city gang wars, a cool family, chinese soaps. Did not enjoy the movie as much as i would have liked.

Kit Kat -

Again the first Egyptian movie that i have watched. Loved it. A blind man who does not think he is blind. A blind man who enjoys his life passionately. A blind man who will make others blind. A blind man who supports his son and his mom. Recommended.
