Film Highlight | The Wailing |
|
Na Hong-Jin's Korean film is a genre bender.
It starts out as a drama, which soon turns into a psychological thriller and finally
morphs into an extremely horrific viewing experience!
I suggest catching the version with English subtitles, but the dubbed version can be found on Amazon Prime. |

TV Highlight | Normal People |
|
Easily one of my favourite shows of 2020. Normal People needs to be on your list!
Based on the book with the same name - by Sally Rooney - the adaptation is wondrous, magical, messy, complicated and oh so relatable. ‘Normal People’ is one show that revels in nuance and subtlety – capturing each moment in all its raw emotive glory.
Tune in on Hulu or Lionsgate Play (India). |
