 At
the Atlantic Film
Festival I had the good fortune to screen a number of films not yet
commercially released. I had that luck based on a promise that I wouldn’t
fully review those features until their release dates. My complete reviews
will be posted at that time, but until then I can provide you with paragraph
descriptions of those movies. Here is my second entry....
Bollywood/Hollywood
is an absolutely wonderful musical. Chronicling the story of a culture
clash in the quest to find romance it has all the spirit of a better class
of Pretty Woman. The dialogue is fantastic, the song and dance
numbers are expertly performed, the onset colours and costumes made from
swirls of vibrant colours, and the moments of romantic tension are marvellously
delicious.(Causing more then one audience member to yell out variations
on the helpful theme of “KISS HER YOU IGNORAMUS” and so forth.) The zest
of Bollywood/Hollywood is so infectious that I’m still humming the
songs a week after seeing it. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
