Sister Midnight

Director Karan Kandhari with Radhika Apte

Rather like The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, this was a film about someone pitchforked into a totally alien environment – here, an arranged marriage and life in Mumbai. The similarity ended there. This was visually bold, energetic, macabre; it had memorable images, a wonderful soundtrack, an actress who dominated the screen. . . but, withal, I thought it was disjointed, even though it began and ended with train journeys. Superficial, lacking coherence and running out of steam long before the end.
