Episode 040: Tumbbad (2018)

from Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast · host Genre Exposure

In this episode, we take our first stab at focusing exclusively on some world cinema for a block as Michael launches us into a series on Indian cinema. It all kicks off with an amazing slice of period horror that weaves a generation spanning tale of greed. Join us as we check out Rahi Anil Barve's Tumbbad from 2018. Jason praises the visual design of the monstrous entities in the film. Michael celebrates the stylistic parallels to the works of Guillermo del Toro. Dustin dares to claim that this might be one of those rare few features worth calling a perfect movie. Before all that, we set up as usual with a whirlwind overview of Indian cinema to guide discussion. Please pardon us as we stumble through some names and terminology. And so much more!
