Amal

I saw a trailer for a promising new film called AMAL...

The plot looks very compelling and I love the enigmatic feel to the trailer.

Here's the synopsis from the website:

"AMAL, a multi-layered portrait of contemporary India, follows an auto-rickshaw driver in New Delhi AMAL who is content with his small, but vital role in city life.

One day he drives an eccentric billionaire G.K. JAYARAM who, disguised as a vagabond, is searching the streets for the last morsel of humanity, and someone to will his fortune to. After their fateful meeting, both of their lives are changed forever.

Filmed on location in New Delhi, India, this modern day fable questions the meaning of wealth, and ultimately reveals that sometimes the poorest of men can be the richest."

It film was selected as one of Canada's top 10 films of 2007.

It stars Naseer Shah (he played Captain Nemo in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen w/ Sean Connery), Roshan Seth (played the Prime Minister of Bangkok in Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom)

What did you think of it?

I saw it at the Toronto TIFF last year and thought it was brilliant. I wasn't crazy about the acting but the storyline and character build made up for it.
