AMP's 20 Great Bangladeshi Films of the 21st Century
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. September 22, 2020 By Fahmidul Haq After the advent of new technologies such as satellite TV, CD/DVD in 1990s and Internet streaming in 2000s, Bangladesh’s mainstream industry, which was once vibrant, started declining. Meanwhile, since the mid-1980s, there was a slow but steady growth of independent cinema which started representing the national cinema of Bangladesh by documenting politics, culture and society, both in fiction and documentary genres and by participating in international festivals. Primarily these films were artisanal in look – short in length and technically ordinary; gradually they started to be more mature – full length in duration and comprehensive in film techniques. Since 2000 and onward, Bangladeshi cinema is trying to find its own voice internationally, which is often overshadowed by Indian Bengali Cinema that reached its peak by the contributions of Satyajit Ray, Ritwik Ghatak and others. In the new millennium, Bangladeshi cinema has elevated from the ‘artisanal’ to the ‘global’ stage. Also, there was an evolution in the themes of Bangladeshi Cinema– from rural to urban and from traditional-cultural archetypes to post-modern and post-globalized complex realities. Except one or two, the selection criteria of the following 20 films was the intend to portray the broader culture and society of Bangladesh instead of just telling a good story or entertaining audience or even just experimenting artistically. The themes of the films are diverse and deep rooted in history and culture of Bangladesh as a nation. The films are described here in temporal order. The selection includes three documentaries. -
AMP's 30 Asian Zombie Movies That Are Worth Your Time
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. March 25, 2019 By Don Anelli Ever since it lurched onto the silver screen in 1932, the zombie has become one of the most prominent horror figures in the genre. As they are responsible for numerous adaptations, retooling and reboots over the years, the popularity of the genre has waned over the years here in America which is pretty much barely an issue in Asia. With plenty of incredibly enjoyable titles in their long history that simply don’t get the publicity in America due to way too much coming out here already, it’s time to offer a spotlight on some of these under-appreciated and overlooked gems from Asia. The Haunted Cop Shop 1 & 2 are counted as a single entry -
AMP's Ten Masterful Asian Film Trilogies
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. August 4, 2018 Panos Kotzathanasis Movie trilogies have emerged in world cinema during the last decade or so, as one of the most favorite medium of films, and probably, as a countermeasure to the growing popularity of TV series. Evidently, this does not mean that there have not been trilogies in the past (who can forget “The Godfather”, “Star Wars” and many more), but it seems like, at the moment, this is where the movie industry is heading. In Asian cinema, though, trilogies have been a favorite medium since the 50’s, with their impact continuing to these days, although not in the same extend as in Hollywood. Filmmakers of the magnitutde of Satyajit Ray and Yasuhiro Ozu felt that a single movie could not contain their vision, and proceeded on shooting trilogies that include some of the all time, international masterpieces. The tendency continues to later decades, with a number of the most acclaimed Asian directors presenting their own, either loose (Park Chan-wook and Wong Kar-wai) or as a single story presented in parts (Infernal Affairs) Here are 10 of the greatest trilogies of Asian cinema, in a list that focuses on diversity in themes and aesthetics, although not so much on country of origin. -
AMP's The 20 Best Post-Liberation (1972-2000) Films from Bangladesh
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. December 29, 2020 By Fahmidul Haq Bangladesh started producing film regularly since the mid-1950s, when it was part of Pakistan. Due to the colonial military rule by the central West Pakistan, there was a rise of Bengali nationalism and people of East Pakistan started revolting. The East did not get the power even though their political party Bangladesh Awami League got absolute majority in 1970 Pakistan election. The people of the East got increasingly agitated and there was a military crackdown in the midnight of March 25, 1971 and the war started. Through the resistance of freedom fighters and the diplomatic and military support from India, Bangladesh got liberated from Pakistan on December 16, 1971 . This article selects the 20 best films in post-liberation (1972-2000) Bangladesh. The country had a vibrant mainstream film industry in 1970s and 1980s. Since 1990s, the industry started declining due to many internal and external factors. Meanwhile, since the mid-1980s, there was a slow but steady growth of independent cinema which started representing the national cinema of Bangladesh by documenting politics, culture and society, both in fiction and documentary genres and by participating in international festivals. Until mid-1990s, independent films were artisan in look – short in length and technically ordinary; however, gradually they started to be more mature – full length in duration and comprehensive in film techniques. Except one or two, the selection criteria of the following 20 movies was the films’ intend to portray the broader culture and society of Bangladesh, instead of just telling a good story or entertaining audience or even just experimenting artistically. The themes of the films are diverse and deep rooted in the history and culture of Bangladesh as a nation. The films are described here in temporal order. The selection includes 2 documentaries and 18 features that comprise 5 war films, 6 rural based, 3 city centric and 1 children film. It is also interesting to note that 3 rivers are mentioned in the titles of 3 films and 3 films are set in the coast of the Bay of Bengal. It is quite natural that the rivers, the sea, and the boat would be the characters in the films made in Bengal Delta region. Two films (“[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/palanka/]Palanka[/url]” [1975] by Rajen Tarafdar and “[url=https://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/padma+nadir+majhi/]Padma Nadir Majhi[/url]” [1993] by Goutam Ghosh) might be included in the lists, but those were co-productions between Bangladesh and India and the director is from India. “Titas Ekti Nadir Naam” by Ritwik Ghatak was also directed by an Indian citizen, but it was solely produced by Bangladesh, hence included in the list. Moreover, Ghatak was born in Bangladesh and lived here until his early youth. -
