Beijing Bicycle

Kumar's initiative is bearing fruits...in the series of his hand picked foren language movies screened every Friday, this Chinese one is the third.
If you are here for spoilers then you will definitively get some.
With this movie first thing peeps into an in-n-out Indian minds, "yaar chinko ne acchi khaasi progress kar daali hian... look at the big road... n all that humdrum"
But that apart... once the story start sinking in, the cultural differences subside and we start associating with the dreams and forces of typical adolescence which knows no ethnicity.
Story revolves around two needy boys claiming the bicycle. The art of storytelling espoused in this movie lies in hiding some facts that generally drives anybody's sense of fair judgment. Through this IMO director want to make a comment on every single crime, every single story that we come across leaves it incomplete and that is not because could not be made complete, but it cannot be.
Some amazing frames and still camera work makes it a serious movie making and engrossing to watch.
