GANDU (2010)
Dir: Kaushik Mukherjee
85 min.
India
Gandu (trans. "asshole" or "loser") is a young punk-rap visionary
struggling with the meaninglessness of his life and stumbling from one
embarrassment or mistake to another. He and his Bruce Lee-obsessed
best friend embark on a psychedelic journey that leads them through
all the passions of youth, from rage and desire. Boldly edited and
cleverly told, this film has to be seen to be believed. Director Q
(aka Kaushik Mukherjee) is a deft filmmaker, bridging an unpolished
style with a cool, confident cinematic skill. In the same way Antoine
Doinel exploded on the scene in defiance of the cinema of quality,
Gandu flies in the face of the bloat and pomp of Bollywood.
