Vith

Set in a highland village of Central Kerala, "Vith" or "The Seed", tells the tale of Joseph; a self-contained and traditionalist farmer and his son Jose; who is very lethargic and unambitious for Joseph's standards. Joseph's worldview comprehends the concoctive nature of the countryside reality where beasts, saints, ancestors and the nature coexists with each other. Nevertheless, he is convinced that the urban corporate landscape is where the future lies for his son. Jose, on the other hand is in the course of doing his systematic transect walks so as to enclose himself back into the hold of his roots. Here begins the subtle and tenuous animosity between the two. However, as the story progresses, it becomes evident that neither of them are archetypical characters symbolising binary values and attributes; but are people who encompass within themselves the nuances of both good and evil, just as the movie is made in shades of grey. Simultaneously, the movie also captures how religion locates itself, both linguistically and idiomatically, in the domain of everyday intimacy - of kinship and affinity, friendships, parent-offspring relationships and sexuality. Notwithstanding the constant attempts at reaching a common ground by the father-son duo, in the end, no conflicts are resolved, no rural-urban continuums are established, no lost-love is found and the perpetual uncertainty and sufferings that life in general and blood-ties in particular bring, continues.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
