From Ray to Almodóvar: KIFF brings cinema celebration back in the city

Three days are gone and the 27th

Kolkata International Film Festival

is in full swing. Kolkata cinephiles are leaving no stone unturned to brave the scorching heat and lapping up the festival. On Wednesday, the snarling queue of

Nandan

I to watch Pedro Almodóvar’s Madres paralelas (

Parallel Mothers

) reinstated the city’s love for cinema.

After watching the film, filmmaker Satrajit Sen said, “I am blown away. The plot is a tad predictable. But a good cinema is way beyond the plot. The treatment, stylisation and editing have made the film fast, captivating, entertaining and what not! While Penélope Cruz is at her best, her co-actress, Milena Smit also stole my heart.”


From film buffs to students of film studies and regular cine lovers – the Nandan area has presented a carnivalesque look. We share with you the titbits from the spot.
