Into the wilds with cinema

Battu's Bioscope (1998)

Directed by Andrzej Fidyk this is a documentary shot in India. A man takes his travelling cinema round rural India showing Bollywood action films.

This is an interesting exploration and criticism of the love of cinema which ends up shining a light on the tragic life of the protagonist. There were times when I wondered just how authentic of a documentary this film is but it still ends up being an interesting watch whatever the case. If you can track it down this is certainly a though provoking film.


4/5
