For this Friday Movie Night, since the people demanded more Indian cinema, first up is Anbe Sivam (2003), a buddy comedy about a commercial producer who becomes stranded at an airport and is forced to go on a road-trip with a socialist street performer. Dudes proceed to rock, and discover how cool communism is, with some musical numbers along the way. I saw some chuds give this negative reviews for being commie propaganda, which means it’s probably awesome. This is one of the highest-rated Indian films on Letterboxd, and is the best-known and most highly-regarded film of director Sundar C.

After that is Czech fantasy/fairy-tale The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (1962), the magnum opus of director Karel Zeman; last Christmas, we watched his film The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (1978), which was cool, so let’s check out his best-known work. This is another take on the tall-tale exploits of the 18th-century German aristocrat Munchausen, filled with all sorts of fancy effects and animation as he makes his way around the world, under the sea, and to the moon. We previously watched Terry Gilliam’s version, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988), and many say this one is even better, so let’s give it a whirl.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
