6 BEST INTERNATIONAL FILMS OF 2019


As the 2019 comes to its end, let's recall this beautiful year in the light of international releases. Big studios earned huge, awaited releases specially animations & super hero films scored massive. Beside box office, there were some brilliant film making too. Let's check them without further delay.

6. MARRIAGE STORY
An emotional rollercoaster lead by some serious on screen acting. 'MARRIAGE STORY' is a half funny, half heartbreaking piece of cinema, which easily shows some complex things about relationship.

5. THE VANISHING
This almost unnoticed film is a fine melancholic piece of art which shows the transition of human mind out of greed. Based on century old true story of 'Flannan Isle Mystery', THE VANISHING is a psychological game. You should watch it. [REVIEW]

4. THE HOLE IN THE GROUND
An unusual horror brilliance with deep ironical overtone. A rare composition of art & horror. A dark, poetic & memorable work in the horror genre. [REVIEW]

3. MIDSOMMER
A methodical mix of Nordic Pagan folk cult, the horrific rituals, the stunningly beautiful setting, the imagery, allegory, the taboos, mystery, uneven tones - Ari Aster's MIDSOMMER is a brutally complex piece of art, Original, Chilling yet thought provoking! But overall it shows the eventuality of a relationship without care or love. And a mammoth work of feminism also! Go for it, obviously with a strong heart!

2. US
Genre doesn't matter! The second film of genius JORDON PEELE is a scary horror movie, a brave political movie, a thought provoking psychological thriller & finally a sensational piece of art. Peele dig some serious issues & buried us in his puzzle of thoughts. An absolutely original work with so much layers & perspective. And surely one of the best film of the year! Must watch.

And the FILM OF THE YEAR is....... 

1. PARASITE
Bang! Film of the decade! Yes!
Bong Joon-Ho's PARASITE is a dazzling masterpiece. A social contradiction, an experience of lifetime full of unusual setting, gripping storytelling, artistic mastermind, humour & brutal twists.
PARASITE is one of the best film ever! And that's it. You saw nothing if you didn't watch it. Watch it now, even if it might be the last film you planned to watch!

That's all. Share your favorite international films of this year too. Thank you.

🔵2020: RUSSIA🇷🇺 - FILMS & LITERATURE 1⃣ STALKER(1979) - EXPLAINED - Analysis & Interpretation.    - Bodhisattya Pal.  STALKER(1979) - ANDREI TARKOVSKY An unusual setting, a mysterious stalker, a forbidden area - 'The Zone', a professor & a writer, a journey to find the truth, a wheel of events, a drenched conclusion - A legendary filmmaker with his most complex work - 'Stalker'. Tarkovsky, one of the greatest filmmakers of Russia, loved to stay neutral & give audience an open ending cinema. His works are complex, tangled yet poetic, lyrical, spiritual and metaphysical. Stalker - the so called sci-fi drama is a slow paced poetry full of metaphors which is both weird and stunning, art at its best. Both time & patience is needed to understand this deep work of art. But as they said that you have to first feel a film, before understanding. It's really just beyond understanding, it's an otherworldly experience, you have to live it.

In a strange enchanting backdrop, the novel came with such issues which are easy to ignore but hard to discuss! REVIEWED BY BODHISATTYA PAL BOOK: THE MEMORY POLICE AUTHOR: YOKO OGAWA TRANSLATOR: STEPHEN SNYDER PUBLISHER: PANTHEON BOOKS BLURB:  GOODREADS GRAVITY: ' National  Book Award for Translated Literature 2019' 'International Booker Prize 2020' REVIEW: 👮A mysterious island with its own rules - things are vanishing fast along with the memories linked with it, snow is falling restlessly and they, the Memory Police, are roaming to ensure & enforce the annihilation! Quite a nebulous, eerie and enchanting premise. 🦅The Memory Police is a very strange novel. It keeps changing its mood & motive. It is very hard to specify its genre. The novel is partly dystopian, partly sci-fi, partly political and partly philosophical sometimes. 🖋️Yoko Ogawa started this novel with the disappearances as focal theme. The plot was expanding and
