AMOUR
Director: Micheal Haneke
Initially I was not sure what the film would be like as I had overheard some of the wall comments. Oh my! What a wonderful film experience; intriguing yet frightening to see such spiralling and realistic circumstances.
The plot surrounds this couple living in a city apartment; who are very much in love. Doing things that couples do, going to concerts, the theatre, films etc. The entire film is shot in one apartment in Paris, aside for the first scene where the couple are at a music recital.
The first scene, she has her first attack. They are sitting on the small kitchen table where she is making breakfast and sits down to share it with her husband and all of a sudden freezes, her husband while washing up tries to have a conversation her but she is oblivious to anything around her and does not respond. He leaves the washing up and rushes to make a phone call leaving the tap running.
While he is on the phone he notices the tap stops running so he runs back and finds his wife standing there, as if nothing had happened, doing normal chores. But that was just the beginning of what has to come, slowly her attacks are getting more frequent and more prolonged and finally becomes partially paralysed and speechless.
The wife understands the predicament of her husband but cannot help her state of mind therefore is depending on him. Her husband is very supportive and lovingly wants to do everything himself. Their daughter pays a few visits as she is very concerned about her Mother's deteriorating health but also has her own problems to deal with.
Husband never shows any begrudges in looking after his wife, he lovingly does all chores himself feeding, changing sheets and clothes and he also takes on the responsibilities of all needs. Once he notices that the nurse was ill-treating his wife who he had to appoint to avoid confrontations with his daughter. As her condition worsens he starts to become more protective and doesn’t trust anyone near her including the daughter, leading him to essentially isolate his wife from anyone aside from himself.
The film has been handled very sensitively and is wonderfully portraying the emotions and very true to life where a couples very much in love have to see their loved one deteriorating painfully in front of them and doesn't know how to deal with it except by trying to make them comfortable in every way possible.
The ending portrays an array of emotions and possibly the expected which can almost be interpreted as true love. Did he commit this act out of frustration, pain or love for his wife? Quite possibly it was for all those reasons. A tragic end for both husband and wife. A must see film, this beautifully acted by Jean Louis Trintignant (Husband) & Emmanuelle Riva (Wife). This film is a perfectly structured and a great tribute to cinema.

THE RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST
Director Mira Nair     www.reluctantfundamentalist.com
This was a big gala film and I was quite excited, so I requested for a ticket but after rejection from the press office had to rush to buy my ticket as the film was almost sold out. As I sat     through the film I realised that Mira is trying to show the other side of the coin by adapting the film from the blockbuster by Mohsin Hamid.
The film is about a young gusty and ambitious guy named Changes played by newcomer Riz Ahmed, who is a bright stockbroker. He is trying to adjust between two cultures. Changes works for Apple. His father is a poet based in Pakistan. He believes he is an American. However his Father who resides in Lahore seems to detest the West.
Changes lands a job in a big company with Kiefer Sutherland where he is ruthlessly taking over companies in trouble. Changes catches his eye when he suggests that by cutting down the man power companies they will reef benefits.
In his spare time he goes for walks. One day on one of these walks he meets Erica played by Kate the troubled trophy wasp princess, taking photos and by accident he appears in her shoot, which starts a long loving relationship.
One day while relaxing in his home he has a shock of his life on TV. The twin towers collapsing with the plane slicing through the towers. His beloved city, what's happening? Everything changes after that, he and many more Muslims all of a sudden are going through an identity crisis, randomly the police are arresting and humiliating them.
On one occasion Changes is arrested, stripped and searched. The experience shocks him into thinking where actually he belongs and what he should do to overcome this humiliation? The hatred and the revenge are gnawing his heart.
This is the story of his journey back to his homeland Pakistan and throws him directly into the clutches of extremist Muslims and the fight with the US military. Mira Nair of Salaam Bombay and Monsoon wedding tried to handle the issue and with care and delicacy and that Muslims should be perceived in a different light and repression can become aggression.

Expanded Biography: 
She recalls: "I did participate in a show in Olympia where I was commissioned to do art work for individuals; I also finished an assignment while working for an upcoming                       exhibition. Unfortunately I fractured my ankle six years ago whilst on the way to work, which slowed down my targets but I continued to paint portraits, caricatures, murals for homes, until it dawned on me that it was time for me to do my own exhibition and my own art instead of doing for individuals and companies.

I am fussy and selective in terms of where and what pieces; so I select specific places and books to display my art. I idealise Picasso and the best of my abstract art is still to come. Visit:

Extended Bio/Profile:            
                                                Ms. Khan is a London-based artist and interior designer. She imbibed an early appreciation of the arts from her immediate environment from as far back as she can remember.                              She recalls her life:
                                               "I was born into a family where art and culture were important and had been for                                                              generations. I imbibed an early appreciation of the arts from our immediate environment                                                 from as far back as I can remember. Poets and artists came and stayed for long periods                                                    doing family portraits. I remember watching spellbound as they worked with brush, knife                                                 and pallet. My parents recognised my interest and inclination and encouraged me to paint. I                                                             have not looked back since.
                                                "In time people around me began to recognise my special gift. At first the recognition was                                                             confined to school and college fetes, functions and exhibitions. I studied fine arts at                                                                         university. During the course of one of the college exhibitions my entire work was sold out,                                                     much to the chagrin of my art teacher who did not think I was very talented. He was very                                                      critical of my work and would do not  do any corrections but thanks to the external examiner,
 passed with distinction.                                                "I painted all the time as a young girl but friends and family used to take my paintings to display in their drawing rooms.

                                 "I have dabbled in other fields such as fashion designing, campaigns for fashion shows,                                                   writing and designing for fashion magazines. I had been working for international                                                                        expositions, exhibitions and conferences in India, which I continued to do when I came to           the UK. I also ran my own advertising agency in India.
                                          "The turning point in my life was when I got married and I arrived in this country. I had two                                                 lovely kids and my life became an incessant whirl of school schedules and kids’ activities. I                                                             was baffled with all the work and responsibilities because I had to adapt to the British                      lifestyle, which I was not used to do everything.
        "However I continued my artwork between my hectic schedules, until I had a big break  painting life-sized figures for a trendy restaurant, which when finished was covered by press.                                                             I was also interviewed by one of the Asian TV Channels.
                                                "I had decorated my house and the unusual decor caught people's eye and merited another                                                             newspaper article and had a student from Cambridge University include the outside of my                                                        house (because of its unusual design) in his project."

                                                   The Portrait gallery in London approached me to participate in B.P Awards.
                                                    I was also asked to display my paintings permanently in the Nevada Museum of fine Arts       Las Vegas.

                                                   Because I had displayed my work in the Nevada Museum of Fine Arts in 2010
