As for Sen, I will need recommendations before going further. I didn't really care much for the style of this one at all and don't want to watch much more like it. Important and Serious are not a turnoff for me - it's going to be a question of tone. Akash Kusum is lovely, and the navel-gazing is firmly critiqued because the character does it thoughtlessly. Re: Ray: I think there are only one or two films of his that I'd call bleak, though "not entirely positive outcome" happens a lot, when in fact outcome is nailed down at all, which now that I think about it is rare. <br /><br />Nanga - Thanks! Have you seen enough Indian horror to know if the reverse narrative is common? I really haven't. I also get the horror films I've seen all mixed up since they're so similar in plot, visuals, acting styles, etc....Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-60099294763419065072014-05-17T12:41:03.017-05:002014-05-17T12:41:03.017-05:00Keep up the excellent work!
I agree that Khooni ...Keep up the excellent work! <br /><br />I agree that Khooni Raat's USP (other than the very fabulous dance sequence you've linked to (and the fact that the song's so catchy! (I once thought of keeping it as my ringtone :P))) is its unique treatment of the classic rape-revenge story - foreshadowing future takes by the likes of Gaspar Noe in 'Irreversible' - a reverse narrative of revenge followed by the rape. <br /><br />As again, great work!

So far, I feel like the biggest barrier to watching Ray (in the half a dozen films I've seen so far) is merely the bleakness of the subject matter. Stylistically, however, and storytelling-wise, I think he's a joy. Sen is a complete unknown to me--other than looking up wiki summaries of his films--and I'm reluctant to jump in as they sound Important and Serious, and worse, inclined towards existential navel-gazing.
