If Houellebecq was colonised

I talk about cult-classic horror film The Exorcist. 

I talk about acclaimed director Jonathan Glazer's 2013 film Under The Skin. For best experience, please watch the film before this podcast. I speak of why films are important as an art form.

I talk about the 2021 French film Titane, the winner of Palme d'or. This magnificent film is a feast to the eyes- but more than that, the head. Lots of good recommendations oozed out in this one.

I discuss Pebbles or "Koozhangal" the 2021 Tamil feature film by P.S Vinothraj that has won very well-deserved awards like the Tiger award at IFFR and Critics award at TIFF. It is also India's official entry into Oscars. 

"Misery is wasted on the miserable." - Louis CK. It's a rainy winter night in Toronto and I speak about the books I have been reading- Mole! by Ashokamitran and Serotonin by Houellebecq.

I discuss legendary filmmaker Lars Von Trier's films Nymphomaniac Vol 1 and 2 and what makes a piece of art great.

We discuss the Astroworld concert tragedy, the 2003 film 'The Dreamers' and how crowds have the power to kill.

In this episode, we discuss Selvaraghavan's Pudhupettai, the ground-breaking 2006 Tamil film which has grown a cult following for itself over the last 16 years. Starring Dhanush, this mainstream film breaks boundaries, bars and cribs with its exceptional view of strange surrealistic reality and violence.
