Radhika Apte plays an irrepressible oddball driven to the edge of sanity (and maybe beyond)
Sister Midnight review: An endlessly inventive marriage of perfectly pitched comedy and deranged ambienceKaran Kandhari
Radhika Apte plays Uma, an irrepressible oddball who, newly married to Gopal , a virtual stranger, fails triumphantly to perform any of the duties expected of her. Cooking is a drag. Sex doesn’t seem to offer any relief. The surrounding Mumbai chaos allows no space for contemplation. Sister Midnight review: An endlessly inventive marriage of perfectly pitched comedy and deranged ambienceThe film moves towards madness as a live body hurtles to earth: at first gradually, then very quickly indeed. The couple argue over small things. She raises eyebrows at frequent queries about her skin-whitening techniques.
Much credit must go to the gleaming, urgent cinematography by Sverre Sordal. Rock classics such as Mambo Sun by T Rex, and Motörhead by Motörhead, further add to the sense of energies dangerously unleashed.
