Line production in Nepal |Nepali filmmakers pick their favourite films
Standing in a line to get a ticket, the aroma of cheese popcorn entering your nostrils, and experiencing an overflowing of emotions—who doesn’t miss going to the theatre to enjoy a beautifully made film?
And as we’re all under lockdown, the thought evokes nostalgia. While it will take a while to be able to experience movies in halls, there are still a plethora of masterfully crafted films available on the internet—many of which never made it to the big screen.
To help you pick some of the besfilms ever made, the Post has curated a special list of recommendations from some of Nepal’s most acclaimed filmmakers. These films suggested by the filmmakers hold a special place in their hearts and may strike a chord with yours.
Basnet is a director, writer, actor, and singer. Known for finding the right balance between aesthetics and commercial value, his debut movie ‘Loot’ (2012) is often credited for bringing in a new wave in the film industry. I think the movie helped me be clear about how I wanted to approach my story and script for ‘Loot’. I would suggest people watch this heist thriller.
Sahara Sharma
Sharma is an independent filmmaker, known for her films Chasing Rainbows (2013) and Bardiya Sundari (2019). She is also the CEO of Gauthali Entertainment, a production house.
With multiple streaming platforms, we’re spoilt for choice but these choices sometimes feel overwhelming and that’s exactly when I turn to ‘My Cousin Vinny’ (1992). Joe Pesci and Marissa Tomei's amazing performance lifts this brilliantly written comedy that is perfect if you’re looking for something light and fun but sensible.
