5.0 out of 5 stars Seducing Maarya, October 15, 2002

This review is from: Seducing Maarya [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It is one of the most unusual films I've ever seen. It's sad, it's funny, it's outrageous & it's sensitive... I think that's how the film should be seen. It seduces you with its unpredictabilty...

I can see why this film would upset a lot of people. For the same reason it will please a lot of specialty audience like myelf.

Some scenes just won't leave you after viewing...

The gentle scene between Maarya and her father-in-law, which burns and sizzles...And the roll in the rag love making scene is topped by a splash of curry. That for me is a classic.

The scene with 2 guys in the bathtub is gentle, kinky and not particular your typical gay love scene..,,

The S&M relationship between Maarya & her brother is both gentle & devastating...

To those who are open and brave and looking for a new way of telling a story...Go ahead. Get seduced!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this one, November 6, 2001

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Seducing Maarya (DVD)

Be warned this is a painfully bad movie. The plot is really stupid: A widower falls for some girl. The widower encourages the girl to marry his son. Everyone is happy until it turns out, that the son is gay. So the father seduces the girl. Next her crazy brother/boyfriend reappears and gets mad at everyone. Finally everyone gets mad and fights.

To top it off the acting is really bad.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pity the actors!, June 3, 2002

This review is from: Seducing Maarya (DVD)

The acting is okay but the script is so bad that no one can save this film. All the characters say exactly what is on their mind ... has the writer/director ever heard of subtext?

The cinematography is beautiful with strong contrast lighting and all, but the lighting is so theatrical that it further pulls you out of the story.

And the climax (which I wont give away in case you still want to see this) is just mind-bogglingly stupid. Do people talk like that on earth?

The only reason to see this film is the scene between Cas Anwar and Nandana Das where they alternately slap each other after each line of dialog. It is genuinely funny. Of course, I dont think the director intended it.
