Collecting tasting menus and Kannada cinema in equal measure.
Lucia (2013)
A crowdfunded Kannada film about an usher who buys pills to live his dreams. Mind-bending and very Bangalore. Pay attention to the colour and the black and white. It all matters by the end.
Kantara (2022)
The last twenty minutes, with the Bhoota Kola, gave me goosebumps in the theatre. Nothing else has done that. Watch on the biggest screen and loudest speakers you can find. The sound is half the film.
Shōgun (2024)
Feudal Japan, politics and betrayal, and every frame looks like a painting. Ten episodes I couldn't stop watching. Watch with subtitles, not dubbed. Give it two episodes to hook you.
