Court
_POSTER.jpg)
Court is a 2014 multilingual major Marathi, Indian
courtroom drama film, written and directed by Chaitanya Tamhane, in his
directorial debut. Featuring a cast of newcomers, the film examines the Indian
legal system through the trial of an aging folk singer in a lower court in
Mumbai. Four languages — English, Marathi, Hindi, and Gujarati — are used in
the film.
The film has Vira Sathidar as Narayan Kamble, Vivek
Gomber as Vinay Vora, Geetanjali Kulkarni as public prosecutor Nutan, Pradeep
Joshi as Judge Sadavarte, Usha Bane as Sharmila Pawar and Shirish Pawar as
Subodh.
A sewerage worker's dead body is found inside a manhole
in Mumbai. An ageing folk singer is tried in court on charges of abetment of
suicide. He is accused of performing an inflammatory song which might have
incited the worker to commit the act. As the trial unfolds, the personal lives
of the lawyers and the judge involved in the case are observed outside the
court.
Narayan Kamble (Vira Sathidar), 65, is a part-time tutor
and social activist bard who tours with his troupe around working-class
communities in the Mumbai vicinity. He’s arrested and charged with inciting a
sewage worker to kill himself after listening to one of Kamble’s songs.
The charge is patently ridiculous – it’s claimed the
worker deliberately went into a manhole without protective gear in order to
kill himself. Defense attorney Vinay Vora (Vivek Gomber, also producing) argues
the case before Judge Sadavarte (Pradeep Joshi), with public prosecutor Nutan
(Geetanjali Kulkarni) across the aisle laboriously reading aloud from obsolete
laws, and relying on the testimony of a lone witness who has obviously been
coached. Vora objects to Nutan’s leading questions and irrelevant arguments,
yet the judge isn’t especially interested in anything apart from procedural
issues.
Vora shops for fine Western cheeses and wines in an
upscale market and goes drinking at a chic bar where an Indian singer performs
English and Brazilian ballads. He’s firmly a member of India’s globalized
elite, yet he also participates on panels about social responsibility. Implied
in all this is that his social connections could easily get him a high-paying
position, but instead he chooses to be a public defender.
In contrast, when Nutan leaves work, she picks her son up
from school, then goes home to make dinner, which is consumed by the family in
front of the TV. If they go out, it’s not to a fancy restaurant but a greasy
spoon — in terms of class, she’s closer to the people she’s prosecuting than
Vora is, although the concept of empathy seems remote from her mindset. Nutan
is parochial and lacking broad compassion, but she’s not wicked: Beyond
criticism of India’s judiciary, the director implicitly implicates the
country’s education system, which creates professionals skilled in rote
learning yet completely lacking in independent thinking.
Water Diviner
The Water Diviner (or The Last Hope) is a historical
fictional drama film directed by Russell Crowe. The screenplay, written by
Andrew Anastasios and Andrew Knight, is based on the book of the same name,
written by Andrew Anastasios and Dr Meaghan Wilson-Anastasios.
The film stars Crowe, Olga Kurylenko, Jai Courtney, Cem
Yılmaz and Yılmaz Erdoğan.
The film has an interesting story. In 1919, Australian
farmer Joshua Connor (Russell Crowe) goes in search of his three missing sons,
last known to have fought against the Turks in the bloody Battle of Gallipoli.
Arriving in Istanbul, he is thrust into a vastly different world, where he encounters
others who have suffered their own losses in the conflict: Ayshe (Olga
Kurylenko), a strikingly beautiful but guarded hotelier raising a child alone;
her young, spirited son, Orhan (Dylan Georgiades), who finds a friend in
Connor; and Major Hasan (Yilmaz Erdo?an), a Turkish officer who fought against
Connor’s boys and who may be this father’s only hope. With seemingly
insurmountable obstacles in his path, Connor must travel across the
battle-scarred Turkish landscape to find the truth and his own peace.
