Iruttinte Aathmaavu and other movies

It has been long time since I've written in Cinemaoutlook. Earam was the last movie... My views on Pazhassiraja and Swa Le was expressed in Cinemakazhcha. Both were impressive in its own ways.

My brother saw Seethakalyanam last day... Due to his less tolerance levels he could not watch it completely, he has to follow his friends' way to exit. Rajeevkumar was really promising, but last few attempts have been disappointing...

Watched 'Iruttinte Aathmavu' yesterday. I'd read the short story earlier, but the silver screen adpatation was really good. Considering the period it was taken and the facilities available that time, P Bhaskaran and team had done a wonderful Job. Mooladhanam was one film which made me impressed about P Bhaskaran's directorial skills. One shot which i still remember was one panned over a small window of the jail cell where the activists were locked. Now when people exclaims about 'innovative' camera angles Amal neerad and Ram Gopal Varma follows, i use to remember that shot...
'Iruttinte Aathmavu' also has glimpses of such technical brilliance... the unconventional camera angles (at that time), realistic lighting and non-dramatic performaces (especially from Prem Nazeer, who was never considered to be a good actor), all adds up to the pros...

more movies to watch....
