    Kanchana Sita

    ★★★★

    Since I really loved Kummatty when I saw it two weeks ago, I didn't know where to go next in Govindan Aravindan's filmography, and so I decided to watch Kanchana Sita on a whim. Although I'm not that familiar with the Ramayana, this film was still able to fascinate me with its minimalistic take on the epic, as the titular Sita that the movie technically revolves around is represented through the rural, naturalistic imagery rather than through an actual character.…

    Anyone who knows me knows how much of a vendetta I have against comic book movies, especially Marvel movies. Despite that, I was honestly really excited for The Batman because it looked like an actual movie that someone made rather than another one of the passionless, lifeless products that dominate the film industry. The last time that I can remember a comic book movie looking this unique or interesting to me would be Joker, and while I am really embarrassed…
