Homework 1989
Is this Abbas Kiarostami‘s darkest film?
This felt like watching a home video of my childhood. While I didn’t really understand the deep seated racism, radicalism, frustration in my primary education back then, it all comes flooding back now. I feel upset by the decisions my teachers, my parents, other people of authorities made on my behalf. Why did they do what they did. Were they not qualified to raise a child. Were they lazy to raise a child. Or were they just downright selfish of my potential.
And to think, 36 years later, our education system is still pretty much the same.

Q & A after the film*
Interviewer: The film has a very unique perspective when it comes to it’s visual style, how did you convey this to your cinematographer ?
Sorayos : What do you mean? When the information is in the wide shot it must be a wide shot. When the information is in the close up shot it must be a close up shot.
This is the single greatest piece of directing advice I’ve heard.
Sorayos is a model legend.

Maharaja 2024
Zero star for the director who trivialised this subject.
Zero star for Vijay Sethupathi for choosing this script. Zero star for Vetrimaaran for championing this director. Zero star for Anurag for acting in it. Zero star to Indian cinema for allowing this movie to exist and zero fucking star to the Indian cinema-going community who made this film a hit. Fuck this film.Translated from by
