Opinion Tandoor E-Anthology: Cinema and Reality

This anthology of essays on cinema doesn’t necessarily have a theme as all these pieces have

been written separately at different times. Yet when we look at them we find a common pattern

among them and that is their analysis of films and their relationship with the reality. It’s true that

all stories are representative of reality to different degrees but the reality that we are talking about

in all but one of the films featured in this anthology, concerns collective reality of many people

in context of a real event or socio-political phenomenon or process.
