Actually, this was the film that inspired bits of <i>Slumdog Millionaire</i> but it's far more visceral and it's definitely one of Nair's best films as I really hope there's a future Blu-Ray release coming soon as it's a film that everyone should see. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-76995580582647798542016-05-16T20:06:15.224-07:002016-05-16T20:06:15.224-07:00Right off the bat this reminds me a bit of Slumdog...Right off the bat this reminds me a bit of Slumdog Millionaire but of course it's quite different.

Satyajit Ray and Mira Nair as this film is essential.<br /><br />@assholeswatchingmovies.com-It was on TCM last year and I recorded it knowing that I would see it next year as it is such a great film. My mom, who is a fan of movies set in India, saw it and liked it as well. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-80799127964891948502016-05-16T13:53:18.217-07:002016-05-16T13:53:18.217-07:00I'm glad you noted the year on this one - your...I'm glad you noted the year on this one - your review revived my memory a bit, but boy were there cobwebs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-3548851736795322202016-05-16T07:39:38.459-07:002016-05-16T07:39:38.459-07:00Haven't even heard of this one.
