Being Cyrus

I caught this interesting movie on Arts Central. Although there are apparently famed actors of Indian cinemas lending their talents to this movie, I have no idea who they are. However, this is precisely why I like such a movie - it allow me to focus on the story and screen presentation rather than the individual "faces".

Being Cyrus caught in its web the naunces of a family with a almost Athenian-like tragic favor. Yet in its heart, there are many sins - of adultery, of disloyalty, of betrayal between husband and wife, fathers and sons, siblings. And of a crime.

Watch it! It will definely purge you of all the stereotypical scenes of songs and dances around trees in typical Bollywood movies.
