MAN MADE BORDERS ARE MISERABLE:
LEENA MANIMEKHALAI
My film portrays the extraordinary confidence of poor fishermen, who struggle to make a life, in war affected borders and shores, said Leena Manimekhalai, the Director of the film Sengadal (The DeadSea). She was talking at the ‘Meet the Press’ programme of the 16th IFFK, today (Dec.13). The dilemma and tension created by manmade borders are beyond words, she added. Shobha Shakthi, the scriptwriter of ‘Sengadal’ said that the theme of the movie may not be new, but the approach is genuine.
I am disappointed with Malayalam movies of these days, said Vetrimaran. When compared with those I watched during my childhood, today’s movies differ in class and quality, added Director of ‘Adukalam’, which won six National Awards this year, the movies which grew up watching Malayalam movies,. Malayalam movies are following the wrong track of `masala’ movies. Adukalam has a perfect and logical climax, he said when asked about the odd ending of the movie.
