So far this month we've looked at Dev Patel the actor, but this week we're examining his work as a director. Monkey Man is his first film behind the camera and it's clear he's been paying attention while on the sets of people like Danny Boyle and David Lowery.

This film, in which Dev also stars, is a visually striking revenge story set in India—something we don't see a lot of in America. It's been well-received so far and with good reason. The young filmmaker has a great eye and a really good sense of what works and what doesn't.

Join us as we discuss this ambitious first feature from someone who is quickly becoming a Weekly Movie Throwdown favorite.
