Kanchana Sita

The odd filming style, acting, and music really didn't work for me. The other aspects of the film kept me mildly entertained.

After watching this I couldn't explain what the poem is about, but nevertheless it captures the spirit of epic poetry. Cinema possesses interesting means to explore certain tensions between generic/formal conventions and the abstract qualities of time, and I think this marriage is really fruitful here. I'm going to sound insane, but I'll insist again that Lady Terminator was another such great piece of (far more contemporary) cine-myth-poetry.
