Review of Mr. and Mrs. Iyer (2002) by Prashanth R — 23 Jul 2008

One of the most powerful and captivating movies I've seen. I loved the fact that it showcased a lot of the different Indian languages (although English is most prominent) and how it explored the vicious religious conflicts in the mountainous countryside. It's always something you hear about in the Indian news. "Oh, such and such people burned down this Hindu/Muslim village." But this movie brought it to life and did it in a beautifully poignant way.

Also, it has two of my favorite Indian actors: Rahul Bose and Konkona Sen Sharma. They're both just naturals at acting - some of the best I've seen, in any country, that can properly emote with just their faces. And they shared such awesome chemistry that it was totally believable and real.
