While IndiaSky is small, can someone help me connect with a photographer/videographer in #Kolkata.

Having watched GODZILLA MINUS ONE and rewatched SHOPLIFTERS and MONSTER last weekend at the Japanese Film Fest, I think Sakura Andô might be our subtlest interpreter of ambivalent, besieged, perseverant relationships to motherhood. She's painting with colors no one else has. 📽️

Didn't put in leaves since I knew all the Muricans and many from India would be on vacation/leaves so I'll not have any work anyway. And I was right

Watched All We Imagine As Light again, this time in my hometown Kanpur. It still feels magical and tugs your heart strings. Kani Kusruti is mesmerising to watch on screen. Don’t remember the last time someone moved me like her. Take a bow, Payal Kapadia. May you soar higher.

It's such a weak year for Supporting Actress that it really kinda blows my mind that not even critics groups are pushing at all for Joan Chen in Didi. Remarkable work by someone who's been doing this a long time and has yet to fully be celebrated

Wrote a little about ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT after the rewatch.
