Review of Under the Volcano (1984) by Pavandeep S — 17 Dec 2007

Frankly, I don't see why people say this is a bad film, it is masterfully directed, but the story is far from bad. It's a real fascinating dramatic tale, a study of man who probably is reeling from much more than a screwed marriage, the way is delivered makes us sympathetic bit by bit to the main character, the study of his life is filled with metaphors and allusions and it is such a wondrous film, strong in depth and old-fashioned in story-telling.

I was wondering all the while that this was actually shot in colour.
