Being Cyrus -- an offbeat theme
So, I finally decided to sit down and experience a different genre of cinema .. I never thought it would turn out the way it did. I am referring to the recently released movie "Being Cyrus" ... I kinda knew that this would be an unconventional movie given the promos that I had seen before.
BEING CYRUS explores a bizzare tale of two harassed siblings who have been raised in foster homes ever since childhood. They seemed to live in a world oblivious to happiness .. and never knew that there existed such a world outside of where they lived... I think this movie would appeal to those who have an appetite for "hatke" cinema .. It boasts of an ensemble cast (Naseer, Dimple, Saif, Boman Irani all impress with fine performances .. Though the film tells a story of a dysfunctional Parsi family it tends to get abstract as well as intellectual at times.. For a first timer, director Homi Adajania definitely deserves kudos .. he has handled portions of the film with dexterity .. As the plot unfolds it reveals the morbid and unanticipated sides of many .. There is definitely an element of surprise and the execution is handled immaculately .. I would not like to delve into the details of the story here as that would spoil the fun in watching it .. I would say this movie is unconventionally dark and reveals facets of human nature that are not normally manifested .. Definitely a one time dekko !!
