Dr Rajesh Purushothaman

Just like one of the lead characters says in the middle of the movie "the best plan is to have no plans at all." the movie is as unpredictable as life itself. The characters are multifaceted and with glimpses into their dark pasts. The references to cheap panties, drugs, smell of boiled rags, the son knowing Morse code as a scout and deciphering the message, not having travelled in the subways for a long time etc are subtle hints to the skeletons in the closet. One of the best foreign language films of 2019. And as thee director said when he got the award at Cannes, if you go past the obstacles created by the one inch wide subtitles there are some great movies to be watched. This is a prime example.
