Steam: The Turkish Bath (1997)

A great film about happiness!

[18 January 1999]

This is a wonderful film about happiness and love, not some sex film. Finding your true place in life physically as well as emotionally is the theme. Everything is beautiful about this movie, the people, the love between the two men and the between the family and Francesco. Great performances by the cast, especially Alessandro Gassman. Beautiful scenes of Istanbul, which I am sure is not seen by the usual tourist.

I loved this movie and highly recommend it.

Permission (1987)

A great film

[10 January 1999]

Ijaazat has a very real and wonderful story with absolutely excellent performances by Rekha and Naseeruddin Shah, and superb direction by Gulzar. This film is highly recommended. One wonders where such talent lies today, films like this keep one living in the glorious past of Indian cinema.

Dil Se.. (1998)

A great film!

[14 October 1998]

This is a great film. Beautiful cinematography, music and costumes. ShahRukh Khan was fantastic, and I hope he can work with Mani Rathnam again. See this movie.
