Review of Sadgati (1981) by Johannes J — 19 Jul 2011
An example of how a slow paced film can be done well. Because the movie runs more-or-less in realtime and gives sufficient attention to each of the small cast, you really care about what's happening, the isolation they must feel and the predicament they are in.
A realistic portrayal of how every little action can have big consequences. Does a lot with little going on, and even though compared to many films not much does occur during the course of these 100 minutes, the central story is so strong that it never feels that way.
Some say, although not like them at all, this gave birth to the slasher / unknown wilderness horror movies we have today. So even if it isn't your thing, the significance of this film as a classic cannot be disputed.
