Exclusive Interview: Director Gurinder Chadha talks about Viceroy’s House
1 March 2017 8:54 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Set at the time of Indian independence and the Partition, Viceroy’s House arrives in UK cinemas this Friday. Director Gurinder Chadha took time off from promoting the film to talk to Flickering Myth’s Freda Cooper about why the film was such a personal project, and to share memories of the late Om Puri.
Fifteen years on from her breakthrough as a director, Bend It Like Beckham, Gurinder Chadha is drawing on family history for Viceroy’s House, set during the late 1940s when the Indian continent went through substantial change. India itself achieved independence and the separate state of Pakistan was also founded.
Brought up with her grandmother’s stories of those days, the idea of making a film on the subject only took hold when Chadha appeared on Who Do You Think You Are? “My ancestral homeland was in the foothills of the Himalayas, the part of »

Here’s an incredible Japanese poster for Kong Skull Island
7 February 2017 5:41 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Author: Jon Lyus
This may well be the best movie poster released this year. It’s certainly a far cry from the witless artistic meanderings thrown about by many of the big studios for their blockbusters. Kong Skull Island is building on some very solid foundations however, and the new Japanese IMAX poster is a wonderful throwback to the decades of over the top poster art. With just a few weeks to go until the mighty beast is unleashed now is a good time to catch up with what we’ve seen so far.

Our initial trip to Skull Island was via a curiously tentative first trailer, which was superseded by a gloriously monster-focused Japanese version. Then we had a very impressive IMAX poster inspired by the famous Apocalypse Now marketing, complementing an already fine selection of posters for Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ film. This new poster »

Puri’s vast credits include countless Bollywood films, as well as the likes of Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi, Mike Nichols’ Charlie Wilson’s War, and, more recently, Lasse Hallström‘s The Hundred-Foot Journey. He was 66.
In a remembrance for The Guardian, Bend It Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha called Puri “one of the most talented and versatile actors of his generation.” She added: “He put a human face on a label and showed we all want the best for our children and families.” Puri and Chadha recently collaborated on the period piece Viceroy’s House, which is due out in the United Kingdom in March and also stars Gillian Anderson and Michael Gambon.
