Salaam Bombay
I am not a big fan of foreign movies. I often try it..and I'm often disappointed. Maybe I lack the patience or the culture to appreciate it. Anyway.I have my favourites, French movies like La cite des enfants perdues, Ridicule or Amlie Poulin. But I have a foreign movie in my top 10. It's call Salaam Bombay. It's a film by Mira Nair, one of her first movies. (1988) She's the one who will direct Johnny Depp in Shantaram, Depp will play a Australian convict who escape from Australia to India and then enters the world of criminality. I can't wait to see that.
Salaam Bombay is a really great movie. It's not a Bollywood movie, no signing or dancing in this one. It is the story of a young Indian boy who gets kick out of his village because he broke the motorcycle of his brother. His mother tell him ; you come back only when you have the money to pay the bike. So Krishna goes to Bombay to work and earn money. Mira Nair tried to depict what happens to hundreds of Indian boy's and girls everyday. There's no happy ending but this film is magic, a glimpse of what many many Indian children goes through when they leave their village.
