YOU ARE NOW ROCKING WITH THE WORST
An homage to Pashto cinema, seen as moving folk-art.

Hahaha, fair enough. Your take take on Arnulf Rainer. I absolutely loved it when I saw it at the Harvard Film Archive in 2006. I guess I was just startled by how much could be achieved with so little... ;)
Well, after missing the recent MoMA screening, I was pleasantly surprised to find it on KG :)
You watch Tamil films?! Kandukondain Kandukondain is dubbed in Telugu (my mother tongue) as Priyuraalu Pilichind.Though I did not see the film the songs are very popular here.The film was a commercial failure.
Well, it's one of maybe 3 Tamil films I've seen. The songs are immaculate - it's interesting that it was a commercial failure, though, since it seems to have all the ingredients of a hit. 'Kandukondain Kandukondain' is relatively light on the 'masala', though, and so would have more appeal to its Western audience, one that loves 'Saawariya' and Mira Nair films.
Just 'followed' your blog posts and saw here you make films too! Really liked So Great was he. The sound track was precious!!
So nice to hear you're following my work, and thanks for the kind words about that film. Writing has had to stop for a while, but I hope to get back into it some day. It's been great reading your impressions of such a huge breadth of films. Keep on watching and sharing your thoughts!
