    Movies to watch before or after watching Visaranai.

    The list holds Drama to Thriller to Action to Brutality, but they all are shot or narrated in a similar manner to Visaranai. Glad that many to most liked Visaranai, so I thought they may find the following movies interesting too (as usual, keep in mind that these movies are for matured audience) :

    Where the Sidewalk Ends (1950) : English
    Serpico (1973) : English
    The Unjust (2010) : Korean
    Polisse (2011) : French
    A.C.A.B (2012) : Italian

    Ofcoarse there are few many others too, just initialising a list, feel free to share yours.
    We can add PASSION OF CHRIST also...

    Well, the listed movies are either thriller or drama genre, but they all come under 'Police Brutality' category. Eventhough certain movies deal with corruption and savagery in a confined social setup, they all cannot be fit into the same class that holds our movie Visaranai.

    For instance, Polisse (French) is a brutal film that follows the officiers handling child abuse. How they all get psychologically stoned in their line of work is captured without lossing the heat & beat. Similarly, you got A.C.A.B, which tells the tale of a group of Riot Police officers who cover each other back when they do nasty things. Just like in Visaranai, which is about the puppeteers and puppets chained together with a thread of classified order, where the puppeteer is a puppet himself. Its not actually their personel choice or a decision that they would like to take daily, but their job suituation throws them the only bone that they can hold on too, which they don't want to miss. The final frames of the film is the major highlight where an ariel view of mysterious eyes pointing the gun flaunts over the couple on the ground, still the one who is seen as the pupetteer is actually puppeted to pull the trigger - a kind of loop, just like the ending of A.C.A.B. In Serpico, when a fellow officier turns into a rat, the others in the line of duty want to smoke him out under any circumstance. The other 2 moveis deals with what methods the officiers and detectives use to crack a case, in return get cracked themselves.

    Irréversible is about a society that we live in, where violence is not taught but learnt. Ofcoarse its a Brutal film which has 3 of my favourite artists in it - Madame Bellucci, Albert Dupontel and Vincent Cassel.

    Mexicomeat / Balaajee,

    Another movie is Ugly (2013) : Hindi.

    I have talked about the film here.

    Ugly-the movie, does not have that much physical violence, but the story is nasty. It does cover the operations of Mumbai police. And I don't know where you can watch this film, thats a pity.

    And heavily morbid killing scene employing a fire extinguisher, weirdly that disturbed me more than the rape. And the final shot, technically where the story begins.

    Writing this I realized how I can vividly remember those scenes from a movie I watched in 07 and I can hardly remember the plot of a film (esp English), I watched weeks back.

    Noe is an amazing, underrated director.

    Now I have this splitting headache because of this film. I don't know how just watching and re-watching certain English/American films can give someone so much confidence to write and make a film like this.

    They're just striving to be different and in that they completely forget to be comprehensible nor entertaining. This movie was outright boring.

    Yes, I have appreciated films with unbelievable characters in absurd situations but they were enjoyable and I dint have to try to like them.

    Very similar kind of promotions were done by Deadpool too, tbh it is very evident that Sidharth and team have just aped their style in promoting this film. But even though Deadpool is a very mediocre film it is full of fun. That's all we expect, is that too much to ask?

    Being wannabe is an essential step in the creative process, until you evolve please wait.
