Review of Ship of Theseus (2012) by Aman A — 31 Jul 2013

Dude, no I mean it, Dude, Dekho. This is one of those films that you hate the fact that you are actually eating in the hall. I am a big popcorn fan and anybody who knows me knows that I go to movies to grab a tub and a large, but in this movie, I was sad I had a tub and a large. I actually didn't finish my tub of 'corn and left it on the ground. I couldn't keep my eyes off it. I wanted to get every nuance, every shot, every feeling, every thought and just... everything. I wanted it all. It made me want to get more even when it gave a lot. I can't get over this film. I want to watch it again. I will watch it again. I may watch it once more after that. This is a film that makes me proud to aspire to be in the industry at some point. It makes me feel proud to be from the country that came up with this. I hope this is the selection of India's highly political charged selection committee for the oscars because I am god damn sure this would be among the top 5 in foreign language. It is filming at its sheer bold best and acting is next level. The one shots, oh, the one shots. At a point in the movie, I found myself sitting raptured with my tongue out in happiness and disbelief at the one shots I was seeing, nay, perceiving.

Please, if there is ever a decision you have to make to watch a movie, this has to be your first pick. Please, watch it. Anand Gandhi, I am now an ardent fan.
