I am very curious about that film.<br /><br />Yes Xavier Dolan is an amazing filmmaker and still so young. I hope you enjoy his film but you also have to seek out his first film I KILLED MY MOTHER which is a brilliant film.<br /><br />Thanks again.Sachinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227932224402555942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942068.post-79702617631367543012011-02-24T12:58:10.340-07:002011-02-24T12:58:10.340-07:00Sachin, I am trying to restrict the parameers to m...Sachin, I am trying to restrict the parameers to musicals, though the term could also be loosely defined. I am still pondering the rules I hope to employ. Many thanks.<br /><br />I plan to see OF GODS AND MEN over the weekend, and a film by a Canadien filmmaker, I'm sure you know well, Xavier Dolan:<br /><br />http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/les_amours_imaginaires/Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942068.post-9506581864141580562011-02-19T22:06:58.785-07:002011-02-19T22:06:58.785-07:00Thanks Sam.

I am sure you will be find this movie is still playing somewhere in the NY area.<br /><br />Sure I would be more than happy to help suggest some Bollywood films for your list, although things get tricky when considering only pure musicals. This is because there are plenty of Bollywood films which contain multiple songs but are not a pure musical such as <i>Evita</i> or <i>Chicago</i>. So if your poll is willing to consider films which are not pure musicals per se, then that could open the door for quite a number of worthy Bollywood films.Sachinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227932224402555942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942068.post-46819776979155829222011-02-19T14:59:41.171-07:002011-02-19T14:59:41.171-07:00"Overall, Dhobi Ghat is a beautiful and poeti..."Overall, Dhobi Ghat is a beautiful and poetic tribute to the complex city that is Mumbai. In reality, a first time visitor cannot leave Mumbai with a neutral view. Either the visitor will be repelled by the city's extremes or fall in love with the city’s charms."<br /><br />Indeed Sachin, this is what I am led to believe by prior reviews. You have furthered the literature so to speak. I want to see this one badly, as I was impressed by the trailer and as I say have read all the glowing reports. You've framed the film wonderfully with a descriptive account, that certainly brings this locale alive.<br /><br />Beyond this I have a question for you. As I prepare (months ahead) for my poll of the 50 greatest musicals, I'd like to ask you if you would be able to suggest the best Bollywood musicals in your view. Many thanks.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
