My Favorite Movie of the Year: Baahubali

[rachelmanija]

I will write a real review later, but in brief, this is a south Indian historical fantasy that plays like a myth transferred straight to the screen. It's absolutely gorgeous to look at, is full of moments straight out of legend, has a fantastic score and amazing action sequences, and also has a number of surprising plot twists.

It's only playing in the US for about two more days, and should be seen on the big screen. I haven't enjoyed a movie this much in literally years.

Trailer. (Not subtitled, but the movie has English subs.)

One of my favorite songs.

You realize of course that you just gave iTunes a bunch of my money because I *needed* that soundtrack asap. :-) It's really gorgeous and I wish I was close to anywhere that's showing this movie. Alas, I live out in the sticks, so I shall have to await the DVD release.

Gorgeous music and beautiful trailer.

Oh. Just because, I should tell you that my local mystery bookstore loves you because you sent me on a Dick Francis kick and a Agatha Christie kick.

I love hearing that sort of thing.
