I love this movie so much
The Worst Film Ever
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
I saw this film in high school and have been haunted by it ever since. Beautiful photography. Hard to believe the actors in the movie were acting, it seemed so real. As I recall, it's the story of how, when natural order in the jungle is changed so that a tiger becomes a maneater, the leading character goes after the tiger and, in the end, is killed. He was also a flute player which is where the title comes from, "The Flute and the Arrow." There's a lot more to the movie than what I'm mentioning. It's definitely worth seeing.
Seven years old, holding my grandmother´s hand, I saw this movie, from which I don´t remember the story; it was more of a natural drama created by the Indian jungle where the tigers live. Chendru learns about live and let live - but also about death and killing.
