Globe and Mail: here’s what they say about Road, Movie

"You hope people come to these movies with fresh eyes. Road, Movie is a great movie. You shouldn't compare it to Slumdog Millionaire. What's nice about it is that it does also have an international sensibility. The director, Dev Benegal, has worked all over Europe and the United States, so he has an outward look as well.

Phew!!!

Co producer of Road, Movie Sopan Muller has just located an NTSC master made from the original negative of English, August. It’s been seen and checked by him and editor Antara Lahiri who both feel it’s in a good state. This means we are one step closer to a DVD. The sound is awful but [...] No related posts.

Why isn’t there a DVD of English, August ?

Is there a simple answer to this question? I wish there were. The negative has been damaged because of ridiculously poor storage at Prasad Labs, Madras. The restoration costs have skyrocketed and no one wants to pay for this. So- the DVD gets delayed beyond what I had imagined. Why can’t we see the film [...] Related posts:

Unsteady Cam

Paul Greengrass writes that his Bourne Ultimatum is about “truth and essence” and not “surface.” There’s a huge argument raging in forums about the style he adopts to achieve this.
