The Bengali Detective (2011)
Perfect Blend of Comedy and Truth

This film was shown as the opening Staff/Volunteer screening at Sundance last night. All I can say is wow. The director used mostly hand-held shots allowing the audience to take part in the private investigations first hand, and he did it quite effectively. The comedic element of the film was often sharply juxtaposed with the sad and stark realities of current issues in India. Indeed, this film will have you laughing hysterically only to bring you near tears in the next scene. You will fall in love with the lead character, understanding his need for escape through dance, as well as his way of dealing with the unfortunate hand he has been dealt. I think it will definitely be a highlight of the festival. Definitely recommend it.
