DAYAL PUNJABI

In Fire On The Mountain, Anita Desai’s masterpiece- she conducts her masterful storytelling skills along with her rich language to tell a very quiet, seldom story.

Beautiful. One can even get the idea of the full circle of life. The three different segments i.e. "Body Electric", "Gods and Monsters" and "Bel Air" respectively differ in eras and roles of Adam and Eve. The three music videos or the short-film is in a sense, ground-breaking; reflecting nothing but artistic vision coming to life, one that not many artists can expand their thoughts on or are given the luxury for it. It is a piece combined with structures of legendary poetic verses and colourful visuals that almost feel like a cliché in today's materialistic and too literal cinema.
