AN INSIGNIFICAANT MAN MOVIE FULL REVIEW
An insignificant man
movie review:-
Funded
by India's biggest crowdfunding campaign and Sundance, An Insignificant Man is
a non-fiction political thriller following ArvindKejriwal& the AamAadmi
Party, during the 2013 Delhi election campaign. The film goes behind closed
doors of the new party, as it tries to shake up Indian politics, while
struggling to keep it's own idealism alive.
The mark of a good documentary is that you forget that the
events unfolding on the screen are not fiction. An Insignificant Man achieves
that and even surpasses it. ArvindKejriwal becomes a character in a movie on
his own life as David-like, he takes on the political champions during his
debut in the Delhi legislative assembly elections. Filmmakers KhushbooRanka and
Vinay Shukla place themselves square in the midst of the chaos in the capital
and offer a ringside view to the viewers of how a political party is formed and
how elections are fought. The filmmakers have made best use of the access
offered to them and chosen some spectacular scenes that range from absurd, to
funny to plain hilarious. The real triumph of the movie is the sharp
objectivity it maintains throughout its 96 minutes of run-time. While the
filmmakers capture Kejriwal at his most vulnerable movements; be it the
suspicious, accidental death of one of his party workers or the light movements
they share as they dub for their election advertisement, never for a moment it
feels that they are deifying him. In fact, there are times when the camera is
turned on Kejriwal as his party members question him about his choice of
candidates.
Editing by AbhinavTyagi and Manan Bhatt is clearly the
strongest part of the entire documentary. The way they have maintained a
coherent narrative makes you feel as if you're watching a taut thriller; they
keep you glued till the very last moment. Music by Ola Flottum is subtle,
non-intrusive yet successfully elevates each sequence.
REVIEW MASTER RATING :3.7/5
