82. Salam Bombay (1988)


Country: India
Directed by Mira Nair

The first time I watched this film, years ago, I was not really impressed. I found it somehow naive, simplistic, with characters who are portrayed idealized, with some kind of magic realism that sweeten the bitter pill. Since then I watched the film several times: every time I liked it more and more ! Today I find it really great: beautiful , poetical, bold and realistic enough but without to be overloaded with misery, intense, optically powerful . In addition the actors are fantastic, the music is one of my favorite soundtracks. But most importantly something that makes this movie to stands out is how tender , how deeply humanistic is! Mira Nair never managed to do something good as Salaam Bombay that was her first movie
