Film Highlight | Burning |
|
Lee Chang-Dong's 'Burning' is an extremely abstract, often times puzzling yet deeply affecting film. I guess that's what you would get if you adapt one of Murakami's short stories (Barn Burning). A genre bending psychological thriller that focuses more on inter-personal relationships rather than a solid and satisfying plot, the Steven Yeun starrer is a must watch! Stream on Amazon Prime Video. |

TV Highlight | Under the Banner of Heaven |
|
Andrew Garfield a.k.a our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man turns detective in the gripping yet unsettling true crime drama 'Under the Banner of Heaven'. An adaptation of a book with the same name, the mini-series recounts the brutal murder of Brenda Lafferty and her 15-month-old child in a Mormon community. Gruesome? Yeah. Tell me about it. Stream on Disney+ Hotstar/ FX. |

Book Highlight | When We Cease to Understand the World by BenjamÃn Labatut |
|
Labatut weaves an enthralling yarn that oscillates between beauty & horror. Stitching together scientific and mathematic discoveries and observations that have both shocked and aided the world, the Chilean author propels us on a journey of wonder, awe & disgust - facts intertwined with fiction yet masterfully executed. A marvellous and beautiful narrative and one of my most enjoyable reads this year.
Fun Fact: With each translation, the book earns a different title. |

Little White Lies |
|
I recently stumbled upon this gem of a website that carries some fantastic reviews and features on some of the best films out there. In their own words, "Little White Lies was established in 2005 as a bi-monthly print magazine committed to championing great movies and the talented people who make them." They've got a great podcast called Truth & Movies as well. Do check them out! |
