Gangs of Wasseypur opens on January 16th. Called “a sprawling, giddy, hyperviolent ride” by Sight & Sound, Kashyap’s opus features plenty of sly humor, including Dhulia’s hilarious anti-Bollywood tirades. Shot with the flair of Tarantino and the scope of Scorsese, the digressive but enthralling Gangs of Wasseypur doubles as a chronicle of social and historical tides in 20th-century India. Manoj Bajpayee (of the Kashyap-scripted gangster epic Satya) throws himself into the role of Sardar Khan, the revenge-driven patriarch wronged by Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia, the renowned director in a rare acting role), a mine owner turned corrupt politician. But there’s no doubt that Gangs of Wasseypur is an exhilarating creation, a not-to-be-missed cinematic event, and a work as sprawling, messy, and open-ended as real life.” Check out the intense trailer below. Yes, it is unwieldy, and Part 2 lacks the visceral impact of Part 1. Director Kashyap has succeeded in creating a gangster drama that feels fresh and realistic – no easy feat. Over the course of these five hours, we’ve experienced prison escapes, drug-addled sibling rivalries, revenge killings, tense life-or-death meetings, a Sonny-at-the-tollbooth-style esque massacre, lying politicians, “money and debauchery,” and a dash of Bollywood, with a unique use of music and lyrics to comment on the action (“This barter of bloody blows will make you cry”). When we caught it back at TIFF two years ago, we said in our review, “Densely plotted, Gangs is a stunning achievement, whether taken collectively or individually. Directed by Anurag Kashyap and presented by Killing Them Softly and Dreddproducer Adi Shankar, the first U.S. Gangs of Wasseypur, spanning a story of 70 years across five-plus hours, actually premiered back at Cannes Film Festival in 2012, but nearly three years later, it’ll finally be arriving on U.S. He’s gonna run everything.The label of “epic” gets tossed around quite often, but early next year a certain film will earn the stamp. But, this is the kind of shit I eat up! It seems to me that the story is building up for Vaughn’s character to be Michael Corleone. Okay…I’m totally reading too much into it. They’ll never bring down “the man” behind the conspiracy because the man is basically just a facilitator of those elements. Each character is a direct product of their environment and the “detectives” are basically deconstructing the core problems of their world. A clash between Sultan and Shahid Khan leads to the expulsion of Khan from Wasseypur, and ignites a deadly blood feud spanning three generations. With Manoj Bajpayee, Richa Chadha, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Tigmanshu Dhulia. Season 2 – LA: sex, vanity, ambition, narcissism, etc. Gangs of Wasseypur: Directed by Anurag Kashyap. Season 2 – the South: right-wing religion, cults, macabre, etc. The show seems to be about the underworld around each setting and the big conspiracy formed based on its elements. Everything is finally coming together and I can see the world they’re building. I disagree with most of the armchair critics on the internet. I’ll easily concede that the first season is better, but that season IMO is one of the best seasons in all of television. “Amanda Waller” bringing the band back together in secret and making a side deal with Colin Farrell. I think my favorite scene was basically the Suicide Squad round up. i put a list of 50 or 60 i wanted to see together i’d post it but this post is already too long 😀 Last year i watched a bunch of 40’s films for the first time and this year was supposed to be 50’s but it hasn’t worked out. Recommendations for 50’s: (a lot of these are mainly classics that most will have seen but you might find one or two)ġ950: Harvey, Night and the City, Rashomon, Where the Sidewalk Ends & Winchester ’73.ġ951: Strangers on a Train and The Lavender Hill Mob (seen very few in 51 & 52)ġ953: The Big Heat, The Naked Spur, Ugetsu Monogatari & When You Read This Letter.ġ954: Dial M for Murder, The Good Die Young, Johnny Guitar, On the Waterfront & Rear Windowġ955: The Far Country, The Ladykillers, The Man from Laramie &The Night Of The Hunterġ956: The Man Who Knew Too Much, While the City Sleeps & The Killingġ957: Throne of Blood, Wild Strawberries & 12 Angry Menġ958: The Magician, The Bravados & Ice Cold in Alexġ959: Anatomy of a Murder, North by Northwest, Rio Bravo, Some Like It Hot & Fires on the Plain Vince Vaughn has been great even having to read some awful dialogue but Kitsch is just so bad, i felt embarrassed for him during the trailer scene. Take out the shoot out and the last two episodes have been very average. Andrey Konchalovskiy won the Silver Bear at Venice last year for his latest. Kurt, the guy who directed Tango and Cash did make more films after that, many more.
