Review of Black (2005) by Matt L — 01 Mar 2009
Really excellent. It's a take on the Helen Keller story and after watching a couple of his films, I have to say Sanjay Bhansali is one of my favorite directors. The man is a poet when it comes to the moving image.
He crafts sets, scenes, lighting cues, every frame is a work of art. Bachchan gives a great performance here, but that's something I've come to expect. The real surprise for me was Rani Mukherjee, who seemed like a lightweight in 'Bunty Aur Babli' but excels here in a challenging and quite limiting role as Michelle.
These two *are* this movie, the world merely spins around them.
