- RSJ Chaitanya Tamhane’s debut feature Court (2014) convinced me about two things. One, here was a global talent whose cinema will make us proud in future. He did that and more with his next feature - The Disciple (2020). I knew of the precocious Tamhane back from 2007-08 when his knowledge and analysis of global cinema of all stripes used to leave us awestruck. We were no mugs about cinema ourselves. But he was different. Next level as they say.
Reminds me so much of Prof. Varavara Rao's fate, especially the poetry and sedition angles.
Thank you for the article. I really look forward every week to read the news letter. Cheers
Thank you for this lovely piece. It is not often that one comes across film criticism that one admires.
