No living director blocks actors as elegantly as Spielberg! One of the few classical directors keeping the art of blocking alive and thriving. #StevenSpielberg

Disclosure Day is a film that explores the possible abandonment of faith and belief, unleashing chaos on the planet, with empathy as an emotional core. Not the best one, but unique and bizarre in its league. A profound, summer blockbuster popcorn film. Beautiful. #Spielberg

David Cronenberg (2014) : "Pour moi, le meilleur film de Christopher Nolan, c’est Memento, et ses films d’aujourd’hui ne sont pas aussi bons. N'a-t-il pas Ă©tĂ© dĂ©truit par Hollywood ? Je n’en sais rien. C’est trĂšs dramatique comme façon de voir, mais peut-ĂȘtre qu’il y avait un autre Christopher Nolan, plus intĂ©ressant Ă  mon goĂ»t, qui ne serait pas aussi successful aujourd’hui s’il avait continuĂ© sur la voie de Memento... Je n’ai aucune animositĂ© Ă  l’encontre de Hollywood qui a fait des films merveilleux, mais je pense qu’en ce moment, ce n’est pas le meilleur endroit pour faire du cinĂ©ma. Pour moi, avoir un budget de 200 millions de dollars pour rĂ©aliser une suite, ce n’est pas trĂšs intĂ©ressant. Mais il fut un temps oĂč Hollywood faisait des films incroyables. J’ai de l’affection pour le systĂšme hollywoodien, mais je crois aussi qu'il peut dĂ©truire les gens. Nous connaissons de nombreux rĂ©alisateurs venus d'Europe pour faire un film et qui se sont perdus. Il y en a qui pensent qu’ils vont pouvoir travailler de la mĂȘme façon qu'ils le font en Europe. Mais, quand ils arrivent Ă  Los Angeles, ils rĂ©alisent qu’ils n’ont aucun pouvoir, qu’ils sont juste des employĂ©s. C’est d’ailleurs ironique : Hollywood vous veut car vous avez quelque chose de spĂ©cial, et quand vous allez lĂ -bas, tout ce qui fait votre spĂ©cificitĂ© est ce qu’il redoute le plus. Ce qui peut ĂȘtre trĂšs violent Ă©motionnellement, mais aussi financiĂšrement. Donc vous n’en retirez rien. Ni la satisfaction d’ĂȘtre l’artiste que vous ĂȘtes, ni la satisfaction de rĂ©aliser un gros succĂšs au box-office. Hollywood, c'est comme un pari, que beaucoup de gens ont perdu. Je pense que nous vivons une mauvaise pĂ©riode, qui souffre d’un cruel manque d’inspiration. Je l’explique beaucoup par la peur de l’échec, la peur de perdre de l’argent. Les studios proposent parfois Ă  un inconnu un Ă©norme budget pour rĂ©aliser un film de super-hĂ©ros. C’est un moyen de le contrĂŽler ! C'est plus facile qu'avec un rĂ©alisateur fort, qui a de la bouteille. Dans Maps to the Stars, j'exploite le thĂšme de l’inceste. Hollywood est incestueuse. Il n’y a pas de sang frais, d'idĂ©es neuves. Pour moi, les films hollywoodiens d’aujourd’hui sont le produit de l’inceste, comme s’ils Ă©taient mentalement retardĂ©s, dĂ©formĂ©s. J’ai vu le dernier Superman (Man of Steel). C’était tellement ennuyeux... avec une technologie fantastique ! C'est irregardable, comme World War Z, tout aussi attendu... Une journaliste m’a demandĂ© si j’étais tentĂ© par la rĂ©alisation d'un film de super-hĂ©ros, maintenant qu’ils Ă©taient considĂ©rĂ©s comme le « top de l’art cinĂ©matographique », mais elle ne savait pas de quoi elle parlait ! Ce n’est pas ça le top ! Pour moi, les films de super-hĂ©ros, ce sont comme des adolescents : pleins de force, mais toujours enfantins, ce n’est pas du vrai art cinĂ©matographique, et c’est ce que je tentais d’expliquer."

Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.

Dear Man, When life gives you a shikha, don’t be a Sourabh.

No one Can say How Things Turn in Life & How Broken Relationships can Be Reunited by Acts of Kindness. Read the Dowry case of Shikha & Saurabh & how it ended - Shikha Singh was married in 2020. She herself quarreled with her husband and Then filed a dowry case against him. - Shikha's father spent his entire money fighting the case. His health condition worsened so much that he could not even get treatment. -He suffered an heart attack & was admitted to the Govt hospital in a serious condition. -When Shikha's husband Saurabh got the information about this, he reached the Government hospital and removed his father-in-law from there and admitted him to the Medanta Group, the largest hospital in Gurgaon - Now the Shikha's father is completely healthy - Shikha had to appear for next hearing in the Delhi court, As soon as she reached the Court, Shikha TORE all the divorce papers and hugged her husband ❀

A poem worth reading, in which a cadaver (a dead body) speaks from the heart and asks to be treated with love and care.

#Bandar is not a men's right film, but a film about corrupt system. The victim here is a man. Rare story, rare film.

A consensual relationship that did not end in marriage is not rape. If everyone starts getting jailed for ‘false promises’ then the entire political system will be behind bars

“Bobby Deol is the beating heart of this film. Stripping away the massive macho swagger and menacing villainy of his recent hits, he delivers a deeply vulnerable, understated performance. He plays Samar with a mix of arrogance, confusion, and raw helplessness, proving his immense range.” #Bandar

#BandarReview “Bandar is messy, overstuffed and occasionally frustrating. Yet it is also fearless, thought-provoking and fiercely acted. In an era increasingly dominated by safe storytelling and formulaic entertainment, director Anurag Kashyap deserves enormous credit for making a film that embraces discomfort and uncertainty,” says Devesh Sharma Rating: 4/5 filmfare.com/reviews/bollywo
