About Dry Grasses2023

This drama is a masterful exploration of a protagonist’s mind with a hint of dark humour here and there that doesn’t shy away from Showing the reality of how certain human or humans tend to behave at certain tough phase of lives. I lost count on how many spectacularly setup scenes are there in this and the way it’s written. GENIUS. Tight screenplay, gorgeous framing of scenes (Some scenes are long single takes yet writing is brilliantly engaging) and phenomenal performances make this one of my favourite films of 2023.  This could have been 5/5 movie for me if ending monologue was removed. Although it was a lovely monologue but I don’t think viewers needed that to understand the psyche of a protagonist and whatever he tried to do throughout the film.  Nonetheless in short this was an epic lingering drama that is for sure unforgettable as a whole. Have said it many times to other such films that whenever a lingering effect is strong even after watching the film, then that film will always be special even after years and this is one such film truly.  “Seasons come and go, hopes are born to die, and still, life goes on.”
