The Last Lear (2008) *HQ*
When it comes to recommending this movie to someone, ‘The Last Lear’ leaves you in a Shakespearean dilemma – To see or not to see.The movie, like any certified Rituparno Ghosh film, is contemplative, subtle, languid, and therefore not to the tastes of those Bollywood buffs who relish on star-studded potboilers.Of course, ‘The Last Lear’ has stars – and a towering one at that – but it doesn’t cast them in larger-than-life roles.Here, they are ordinary humans with their follies and foibles.
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal
