Kapadia (Welles) vs Ahmad (Kubrick) - Battle of the Asian Welles & Kubrick of UK Cinema Both magnificent film directors Kapadia older in age has 3 feature films beneath his belt. The Warrior, The Return and recently Far North.As their careers grew, the two directors could hardly be more different in film-making style, yet encompass dissimilar personalities. Both of these young prodigies turned to film-making in their early 20s. Kapadia studied graphic design before his interest in film-making led him to Newport Film School, the University of Westminster and then the Royal College of Art, where his graduate short The Sheep Thief won awards around the world, including at Cannes. He began at the very top of the pyramid with his first feature, The Warrior, won two Baftas with its huge technical crews and was offered great support.Whereas Ahmad the otherwise little-known self taught film-maker, who was brought up on a poor and often violent estate in Manchester directed his first short film on a tiny budget of 2,500 pounds Waiting For Sunrise (won Unicef award 2005, nominated for a Grierson 2006).Ahmad's power draws from his understanding that if the film-maker is not in charge of every module of his creation -- from the original screenplay down to the promotional campaign years work may go for nothing. While Kapdia as a feature filmmaker has gone strength to strength being hailed as one of the best young film directors in the UK.Ahmad become visible on the film scene 7 years after Kapadia, and in that decade beginning in the late 1990's considerable transformations took place, which he, unlike Kapadia, was able to turn to his advantage. The changes in technology and Internet marked the shift of the hierarchical, all-powerful influences by major UK studios.The increasing popularity of the Internet, coupled with the movement of younger talents bursting with new ideas. Unlike Kapadia, Ahmed took advantage creating a huge independent worldwide database of media professionals and the public to gain entry to his work. He now has a huge worldwide fan base. After 10 years of struggling to even create an indentation within the business Ahmad made 3 diverse short films A Man's World, Waiting For Sunrise & Boot Polish and is an independent who learned the whole thing on the spot, originally with whatever means that were available.While Kapadia the more professional of the two, premiered his new film Far North at the Venice Film Festival. It stars Michelle Yeoh, Sean Bean and Michelle Krusiec and was shot on the archipelago of Svalbard, one of the most northern settlements in the world, two hours south of the North Pole. Ahmed the more outspoken and naturally gifted of the two yet still has to prove himself on feature film level, while Kapadia is now an experienced veteran with international acclaim.Quotes Kapadia "I love being on the set, shooting. It's very nerve-wracking and very tense and very tiring, but for me it's the best part.There's one other moment that I think is really special: when you're finishing a film off and you put the first bit of music to it. It's a really beautiful moment because you know what the film is" Ahmad "The great thing about being a filmmaker is in that it's visual as compared to say a novelist who tries to get the readers imagination to comprehend the story, whereas the visual in the cinema is more easier to digest and as a director you can use that power to do amazing things."

Director's quote about his crew going through catastrophes to film this movie should be an indicator enough. The way director has manipulated most of the scenes, it looks like he has visions of himself becoming another Kurusowa, Sergio Leone. This is a very pretentious movie, tailor made for the wannabe cool and artistic viewers. SO no surprise that it is getting rave reviews from British art-houses. As someone who has grown up with the Hindi language, the dialog is extremely corny, and accents fake. And of course historically and geographically, this movie cannot be placed anywhere. I can understand why it would appeal visually to a western viewer, and of course some may see it as a justification of their artistic taste. But honestly, some of the extremely bad, cheesy Bollywood movies have more honest characterization, and no pretentious claims to artistic merit. My first comment ever since becoming a member of IMDb, so my disappointment can be imagined. I expected it to be a simple, honest tale. Yet... all attempts at being artistic, honest come out as fake. Don't be bowled over by the exoticness of the movie, think about the director, his work in this movie, and his pretensions throughout the movie.

I was blown away by this film. Not just by the edgy violence and the no-holds-barred candidness of the brutality but also by the visual spectacle of it. I like the way it was shot, I like the poetic aspects of it, I liked its symbolism, the limited Dialogue, its juxtaposition of good against evil, of beauty against certain mortality, it was just overall a brilliant film.I admit when I first saw the cover of the DVD, it didn't want to borrow it because I don't like war films, but when I saw that the main star was Irfan Khan, I had to take my chances. It turned out not to be a film about war in the very common sense at all.The story revolves around the life of a warrior (Irfan Khan) as he tries to make the transition from merciless mercenary murderer to his redemption, but is halted when his son in brutally abducted and murdered in retaliation to his leaving the mob brotherhood under which he formerly served. After making a promise to his goddess that he will never pick up a sword again, he must now avenge his son's death as well as do good by the people he has hurt or wronged in the past.

At least Bollywood has this: it is pure, joyous trash. It's something you grow up with, and cannot possibly enjoy unless you've had an early Parameter Setting (a la Chomsky) for Bollywood films. Bollywood is SO trash, it comes out on the other side into previously uncharted highlands of Mt. Trash.. it's almost GOOD!This film, unfortunately, is a pretentious piece of nonsense, which you'd be pardoned for believing was made by a film student with good contacts on a bad day. Probably the only thing good about the film are the actors, specially Irfan Khan. For the rest, it's a bad trip after watching a bunch of Kurosawa's and some Sergio Leone's, and probably some sappy romanticizing about the director's Indian Roots or some such pulpy bile.OK, I guess I'm just mad about having my hopes shattered, and am venting it out here. So just to summarize: 1) The accents are all over the place 2) The story? It's the kind of mindless tale you would tell a child to put it to sleep 3) Camera-work is so-so 4) Editing is plain flakyAll in all, its right down there at the bottom of the barrel with loads of other junk.. only, you're much less likely to actually SEE any of the other junk unless (a) you were mad or (b) the film was winning awards by juries that seemed to like pretentious "art" films.
