Till I saw Samsara I never believed that movies can move mountains or change your life. Pan Nalin's Samsara did change my life, gave me confidence to make choices in life and in love. It is one of those rare movies which continues to grow better and better with time. It has an immortal story telling at its heart.
I waited for two whole years hoping that Miramax will release this masterly crafted film in the US (film has opened in 45 countries with huge success), which we Americans need so badly, but their website keeps on announcing new dates every month... Finally I got to see Samsara in Canada. Woooooo!
Open your heart and mind and let Samsara flood you in with positive energy. It is film-making at its best. I am a big cinefil, for me there is absolutely no great filmmaker to come out of India after Satyajit Ray, Ghatak and Guru Dutt. That was some 45 years ago. Would Pan Nalin be this international figure ? Time will tell. Many might not agree but Nalin's film falls in the categories of master directors: Scorsese, Coppola, Mann, Scott, Bertolucci, Bergman or even Tarkovsky.
Hollywood needs directors like Nalin, Anyone is listening in LA?
