Review of Despite the Gods (2012) by Kristal C — 14 May 2012

I'm a huge Jennifer Lynch fan and she makes for a super interesting subject but the film as a whole felt messy and surface-y. I would have liked a little more context about how she got the job of directing a Bollywood movie - especially when the producer didn't seem to trust her.

It would have also been interesting to expound on the implied misogyny that exists in India. There were threads there, but in general there just wasn't a very strong point of view.
