    Caught by the Tides

    ★★★★½

    Dystopia is already here.

    A portrait of a county that's constantly constructing and destructing itself.

    Really admire films which are endlessly watchable even though you have no idea what's going on.

    ★★★★

    This film reminded me of the Nan Goldin quote "The wrong things are kept secret and it destroys people"

    Latest film by Don Palathara deals with the power structures within families, how suffocating the families can be, how families bury their secrets and let horrors go on. It's told with incredible visual style and with a great depth to the characters. It's structured in such a way that it leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Don Palathara undoubtedly is one of the most interesting filmmakers working in India today.

    ** Q&A with the filmmaker at Biffes 2023.
