Film: Slumdog Millionaire (2008)




This film, with Dev Patel from 'Skins' taking the lead, is truely unique in its subject matter. The story immediately captures the interest of the audience and the careful switching between the present and memories of the past are skillfully interwoven. This is guided story telling at its best and the suspence of what the future may hold is built until the last possible moment.
The plot although with elements of tragedy, betrayal and romance is at heart a clear and popular tale - a character, set apart from others achieves greatness unexpectedly. The fantasticly compelling directors style is clearly visible and adds depth and intrigue to the film.
So, a slumdog given the chance to appear on the indian "Who wants to be a millionaire?" captures so much more than the screen - this is a film of pure genius!
