Pune International Film Festival (PIFF)

I went for 4 movies today in the Pune International Film Festival, or PIFF as they call it.
The movies I saw were :-
A French Canadian Movie called "Looking for Alexander",
An Australian movie "Three Dollars",
A Malayalam movie "When it Rained hard",
A French movie "A Real Man" (the names are translated names in some cases and has not been done to protect identities).

Here is my short viewing opinion of them all, more like a very rough suggestive guide for you.

Looking for Alexander
-----------------------------
This Movie was pretty good. It raised some questions by the end of it which were unanswered. The basic plot is quite decent. But the people in it act quite weird sometimes.....very contrasting behaviour within 2 minutes.
Not bad watching though.

Three Dollars
-----------------
This Movie was utter NONSENSE. Nothing made sense and nothing was relevant. The story is wavy with no direction as such ...and the way the flash backs were done were a bit confusing from time to time.
All in all, DON'T watch this crap.


When it rained hard
-------------------------
This movie had a decent story idea. I think they could have done more with the story. I think it was made quite badly.....the background score is very, very ANNOYING and IRRITATING (actually irritating, in every sense of the word).
The movie is worth a watch even though I felt it was executed badly.
Nice idea...bad execution.

A Real Man
---------------
This one is like Three Dollars...although I did like it a little better because there a few laughable moments....other than that ......CRAP.


That's all for now will put more on the rest of the movies that I do watch.
