Day 68 (25th
October)
Mumbai Film Festival (aka MAMI) starts tomorrow
and I am excited. We can pre-book tickets for maximum 4 films per day. The
pre-booking scheduled to open at 0800 kept getting delayed because of some technical
glitch. Finally, I could log in at ~1030 and choose my 4 films – one each from Iran,
China, France and Japan. The 3 Asian films have a Rotten Tomatoes score in high
90s. The Japanese film won the Palme d’or at Cannes this year. The French film
is by the legendary Jean Luc Godard. I am specially excited by this as it won a
special Palme d’or for what the jury described as “a film outside of time and
space”. Cinema is not just entertainment for me; I regard it as a serious art
form. I have prepared my mind for tomorrow’s films by reading semantic review
like this one. I also collected my delegate kit. The catalogue weighs more than
a kilo. All set for bingeing on world cinema.
