Eloquent and informative, Hajera Sheikh’s documentary Kathak: Dancing With Taboos tells a story of love for one’s culture and perseverance through adversity.
This story solidified my choices to consume a more plant-based diet and nearly made me cancel my subscriptions to big corporations like Amazon. The narrative was perfectly crafted and on par with Bong Joon-Ho’s other major works; Parasite and Snowpiercer.
Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.
An unlikely friendship changes the hearts of men, and helps a young boy come into his own.
A bumpy journey about revolution and family makes us feel fear, disgust, humor, and satisfaction.
Wacky antics ensue when a 100-year-old Jewish man wakes up from a pickled hibernation in the modern world.
