Climate change is real
gazmar6225 January 2023
If you need a reminder that climate change is real ,this will help do it for you.

A man returns to his family home in a coastal village in India's lowlands after a cyclone has reaped havoc, he is in a state of denial and looks for his family even though they are already dead, he struggles to survive in the deserted ruins of his home and another cyclone is heading his way, will he wake up to the reality or succumb to the visions and memories of the past?

The portrayal of a desperate man struggling for hope of a reunion with his family is so heartbreaking, a wonderfully powerful and thought provoking performance that keeps you gripped and sad. The cinematography poignantly captures the desolation and isolation. Survival looks in doubt, with no food or water , he cleans and packs up his family's clothes and belongings has the storm gets ever closer. Has he finally accepted they are gone ? What does he now have to live for ?.

Based on a real disaster of a few years ago but one that is likely to be repeated due to climate change that will affect more and more lowland coastal regions in the world.

Marvelous

I don't know why people miss such movies which are wort watching and teach you life lessons.

I can see there are no viewers or reviewers.

Nila panda is the best . I watched his movie I am Kalam when I was in college and in my job interview when asked about my hobbies i replied that I like to watch movies and when asked about my favourite movie and director, without any hesitation I named this movie and director.

This movie is an eye opener and is of next level, very few people will able to relate it.

More and more such movies are needed to be made to show the world the power of Indian cinema, thoughtful makers.
