Blue Is the Warmest Color

You may not like the genre, you may not like the theme, you may not like the style, you may not the taking, but can you stop yourself from not liking the performance of Adele Exarchopoulos?. "Blue Is the Warmest Color" is easily one of the best films of 2013. The film right on to your face without any regard for your inhibitions and it would take time for a normal viewer to get adjusted to the explicit material in the film. Abdellatif Kechiche pulls off this extraordinary stunt to capture the minute emotions in this non-typical narration. Watch  "Blue Is the Warmest Color" for mesmerizing performance of Adele Exarchopoulos. No wonder she was awarded the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

Enough Said

There may be 100+ reasons to watch Nicole Holofcener's "Enough Said" but i have only one. Recently, many films have abandoned the true meaning of 'Wit' & 'Humor', but in "Enough Said" the invigorating screenplay of the film captures the attention and gets itself mixed with wit and humor (apart from the drama, family emotions and individual conflict) so perfectly that it reminded me of "When Harry Met Sally". Enough Said, watch the film.

Blue Jasmine

One of the best things of films of Woody Allen is that they possess a certain unique inertia, which can hardly be found in works of other filmmakers. Even at the age of 78 he comes with a beautiful film like "Blue Jasmine" which is driven by smartly written characters. Like many of his previous films, "Blue Jasmine" has smartly written female characters and 'Jasmine' played by Cate Blanchett is at its neurotic best - Its like eating a chocolate bar, you enjoy it till it lasts. No shocks. No Surprises. No melodrama. Just some brilliantly written characters playing on celluloid.

The Hunt

Thomas Vinterberg's "The Hunt" is not an easy film to watch. The narration of the film is simple and straight like its title but it’s the furtive layers of storytelling which makes it one of the best films of 2013 and a contender for the Oscars.

The story is about the kindergarten worker who is wrongly accused of licentious actions with the children of kindergarten. "The Hunt" had some very uncomfortable questions for me, it seems simple but has a bunch of questions hunting you.

Alfred Hitchock is a master, he knows how to shoot a scene to bring the maximum effect to it. Hitchcock's "Wrong Man" distantly has a similar theme where a guy is wrongly accused of committing a crime, Hitchcock brings all the minute emotions of thrill, the viewer would have some default sympathy for Henry Fonda. But, “The Hunt” hardly brings the emotions of thrill but it efficaciously accumulates the emotions of compassion and the hard sense of feeling for the tragic events which had to be faced by Lucas played by Mads Mikkelsen.

Jim Emerson referring to Paul Thomas Anderson's film "The Master" wrote:

"Just because we notice something in a film doesn't mean it has to be intentional; the important thing is that it's there. It's the work we respond to, because that's all we have; we can never know the intentions behind it for certain -- and maybe the artist doesn't, either. That's the way humans are wired."
