Very exotic
A production of Sandalwood, the Indian film industry, based in Bangalore, whose films are made in Kannada
The form of this Sandalwoodian production can be surprising: when the hero speaks, the soundtrack consists only of his deep voice (there is no real sound recording), with a tablecloth in the background, completely unreal. And it's the same for the villains.
Then, it is interesting to see this story of conflict of territory, of revenge, in a universe of beliefs and superstition, but also of the use of Youtube for a recipe, and of the existence of tablets and cell phones. Which takes place in the countryside in villages, with as main weapon the serp, which is not only used to cut crops, but also to cut throats and other body parts. The fights are visually pleasing, with the characters twirling in slow motion. Effective.
The systematic use of slow motion, which produces beautiful plastic results, but which lengthens the duration of the film.
In this community, the women have little to say and are obviously supposed to cook, but the mother and child, or the lover, are treated with hypertrophy.
Curiosity: there is no credited scriptwriter for this simple and uncomplicated story.
As usual, the dialogues are heavy, insistent, redundant and recapitulative.
The film has in the background an intrigue related to the business around the cremation of bodies, but also the possession of land.
It is not very clear why the bad guy is bad. And vice versa. Nevertheless they are recognizable by the fact that they have bad hair, with long hair, and with the face not symmetrical.
