Many journalists were grumbling as they chatted with one another about their first impressions of Turkish-German filmmaker Fatih Akin's Der Goldene Handschuh (The Golden Glove), which runs in competition this year at the Berlin International Film Festival. It seems that some felt that there was unnecessary gore and violence with a plot that was not that substantial. That makes me wo...

Dieter Kosslick's Departure after 18 years as festival topper continues to be the talk of the town and the opening film, "The Kindness of Strangers" was more kinky than kindly, not the best choice, to say the least. (Haven't I heard that song somewhere before?)
The opening film of the festival is a prestige slot and usually goes to a filmmaker with a track record of awards at Berlin. This year the director was Lone Scherfig of Denmark,...

Diorama, New Delhi, January 2019: Films screened and their ratings
In cold New Delhi, the iconic Siri Fort was the venue for the first ever Diorama International Film Festival. What was once a single screen venue has burgeoned into a four screen complex, with the largest of them, Auditorium 1, able to accommodate approximately 2,000 persons. Audi 1 was sparingly used, and rightly so, because audiences were thin, to say the least. Of the other three, Auditorium 4 was largely used as the ...

RIFF films, seen and unseen
Arriving at Jaipur on the 20th afternoon, I plunged into the 5th Rajasthan International Film Festival (RIFF) fare at the INOX multiplex, Crystal Palm, minutes after checking in at my hotel. Unfortunately, I had missed a whole day and a half, since the festival began on the 19th and screenings commenced in the morning itself, after the inauguration ceremony. These were the films shown on the first day, and some of them bagged awards too, as you must have read in m...
