Santosh Sivan, a filmmaker from Kerala, is one of the greatest modern cinematographers from the
Subcontinent. He has never restricted to just the Malayalam language area and worked on films in
Tamil, Hindi, and others. He is remembered for his fantastic collaboration with Mani Ratnam on such
movies as “Dil Se”, “Iruvar” or “Roja”. Quite early in his career, he also took the helm of the director.
He delivered various projects, some of which were recognized in the festival circuit, and some were epic blockbusters with a multistar cast (“Asoka” and
“Urumi”).
Moha is screening at International Film Festival Rotterdam
“Moha” is his latest directorial venture, obviously created with the festival audience in mind. It
detaches from conventional narrative storytelling and differs from the other films by Sivan-the
director. Slightly it may resemble
“Navarasa”, which was contemplative and very experimental in form.
There are no dialogues in the movie, but it introduces the omniscient narrator,...
