Starring Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Tabu, Adil Hussain, Rafe Spall
Directed by Ang Lee
Some epic novels should never go into movie adaptations. Majestic magnificent and moving as it is, I am not too sure that Yann Martel’s novel was ever meant to be filmed. Trust the amazing Ang Lee to move into non-cinematic literary material and attempt visual manifestations of what are at most, images of a mind that believes Man is wedded in a holy communion with Nature.
On the surface Life Of Pi is the story of a young man’s epic journey with a magnificent tiger. A shipwreck(filmed with surprising tameness) snatches our hero Pi’s family away from him. We aren’t allowed to feel the boy’s mammoth sorrow and desolation at the bereavement. It’s really about survival. And well, you really need to quickly find ways to save your skin.
