India's own Majid Majidi


Blue Umbrella - A simple Ruskin bond story told in the equally simple way. Vishal Bhardwaj comes up with yet another movie for kids, staged on the serene backdrops for his native Kumaun. Why I kept thinking of Majidi is because of the subject matter although Iranian uses a perfectly still camera for longer shots a little too much that gives more seriousness to the whole narration. Once a friend who is pro told me about this bit. Although more play with camera gives a little fluidity if the story lacks it.
Don't miss it if you admire Vishal's work.
