Gandu

MUST SEE: Kaushik Mukherji's Gandu (India, 2011) - 2011SEA Best New Director Grand Jury Prize Winner. A high-energy example of a rarefied genre, Bengali thrash-metal rap musical "Gandu" grabs auds by the throat and gradually works its way down. Dystopic/disaffected-youth story eventually segues into sequences of hardcore porn, which will limit exposure for what is, all told, a promising display of talent from helmer Q. Festival play could give some exposure to happily transgressive rhyme-fueled romp. 2011BERp, 2011SEA. RATING: 8.
