Klaus! So Arising from the Surface didn't work for you? I wonder if that is partly because Muktibodh's writings don't translate very well (and I'm guessing the version you saw came without any subtitles for the written text that are shown towards the end), and unlike some of Kaul's other films, dialogue is an important facet of the film. Of course, it is perhaps among Kaul's most opaque films, though I have a soft spot for it as it is his only film which reveals Ghatak's influence most directly :) Well anyway, how have you been?

vikram! yup, the version i saw didn't have subs for the hindi text at the end, unfortunately. for me the main problem was the monologues and narration; there were a few bits of it that i liked, but overall the content seemed too heavy and burdening with little lightness to make the film more digestible :/ but yeah.. it could very well be a translating issue. i've been good! i actually found a job in shanghai teaching english, and i'm actually already in china getting things set up for my first day on the 1st of february yeahhh and you, how are things on the mathematics side of things?

Shanghai sounds quite exciting! hope you have a great time there. wasn't aware you knew about my mathematical side, but yeah, it's a lot of fun as always. though currently i'm writing up some of the work i did over the past few months, and that is by far the least fun part.

I would have to have a three way tie between Babydoll, A Streetcar Named Desire and A Face in The Crowd. Thanks for the well wishes. Don't be a stranger Klaus. Happy 2012! :)
