With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Power and ambition drive every scene. Same wavelength as The Right Stuff or Thank You for Smoking.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 38 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A Naxalite revolutionary escapes police custody and begins to question his beliefs whilst hiding out in a luxury apartment.
