[I made the following grid of filmmaker mugshots in 2007-08—it was my PC wallpaper back then—using Macromedia Fireworks and images from the Senses of Cinema website. The arrangement was pretty much random and I hadn’t noted down the directors’ names. Jim Emerson of the great Scanners site discovered this page and recognized these images as being sourced from his Microsoft Cinemania CD-ROM. His super-diligent readers got down to finding the identities of the filmmakers in the grid and completing the unwitting puzzle. Click on the image for a larger version, and guess away!

Hi there,
Although I am also a fan of movies as much as you are, and do watch all kinds of movies quite regularly, my work seems to ensure that I am unable to put up as many movie related posts as yours.
I have a question for you, I have been searching high and low for a good DVD of Hey Ram, the Tamil version and for whatever reason, am unable to find it anywhere. In case you have a copy of it, would you be willing to make a copy of it for me. I am more than willing to pay you whatever it takes (upto around Rs 2000) for you to give me a copy of the movie.
Thanks……..Jairam

Mr. Jairam,
The reason you have not found the Tamil DVD is that it has not been released at all.
As for the Hindi version, it costs just 69 Rupees and is available al many Music world and other shopping outlets.
If you insist on Tamil version, the VCDs are available, though rare nowadays, in a set of 3.
I saw the film from a VCD format only.

Kamal or any other actor should never be compared with greats from all over the world. I say this because the actors you mention are typically Method actors and their output is invariably a function of their life’s experiences, cultural background and many other social factors. And if you want an absolute answer, Yes. He is India’s best IMO.
To cut a long story short, he is my favorite Indian actor.
But, his directorial ventures amaze me much more and sadly, that event is not happening in the near future.

I must have read your analysis on Hey Ram at least 10 times. I suggest you send the hard copy of your analysis to Kamal. I dont think he would have seen anyone understand the movie that much. I love the movie and I feel this was the best directed movie in Tamil and always would urge people to watch. But only after reading your analysis I found that I had not understood 50% of the Kamal’s direction and characterization. (The Bharathiyar discovery is amazing…. so is the Elephant).

1. Assuming that you live in India, where do you get to watch all these movies? (the secret plan on my part is to know that once I move back to India, which I am going to do soon) where can I locate these movies in India? Any information shared on this is highly appreciated.
2. I will be in India during the coming summer. Is there any way I can meet you to discuss films? I am an economist by profession and do no plan to sell anything (:-)). Just meeting someone this much educated about films would be a great opportunity for learning.

Hi,
Just stumbled upon your blog after watching Jagten (The Hunt), which in fact initially led me to an interview of the director on another site named ‘theseventhart’. When I googled the phrase again, the 1st of many results was your site. And so, I discovered just how ignorant I was regarding cinema terminology.
On reading the articles I was absolutely stupefied by your flowing yet highly-academic jargon-rich style, interspersed with ridiculous amounts of film history & knowledge. What really hooked me – an amateur film-hobbyist – was the inclusion of Hoppers’ New York Film in the write-up of Far from Heaven.
Having watched some 1000 mainstream but critically acclaimed movies over the past 5 years or so, I thought I had come to point where IMDB just could not provide me with quality content that came without an hour long search. But now I think I have just found a new lease of life on my quest towards a more comprehensive cinematic understanding.

Great articles/reviews. I appreciate anyone who can be articulate about movies(and in general), which is something I am not good. I can’t even put my finger on why or what I like(or don’t like) in a movie let alone write about it.

Hello – am glad to discover that we have people with such tastes towards cinema. Its a minority population and hence takes time to discover each other. Going by the posts it looks that do have a fair bit of interest towards surreal/absurd cinema (Bunuel and JLG). Well there are a couple of films in India (from regional circuits) that are absurd/experimental and somewhat fantasy films. How may I share such films with you so that you may watch, review if it excites and add to the wonderful repository of this blog? Thanks.
Regards,
Swastik

Hey Srikanth,
It’s a wonderful repository of reviews on so many movies! I didn’t know about this blog earlier. The reviews are quite critical and I love it 😛 . It’s interesting you’ve added movies from various languages/countries too.

just curious as to where you get to watch the films that you do/have; especially the ones in the 2019 favorites and round-up lists. If festivals, can you name a few?

Hi Anish,
I watched these films either on the streaming site Festivalscope or at the MAMI Mumbai film festival.
Cheers.
