Super Deluxe
❝The most exquisite thing in life is life itself.❞ 𐄁─────⋆⁺‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧⁺⋆─────𐄁 I've watched Super Deluxe countless times, but it still feels new and fresh every rewatch. It truly is the Pulp Fiction of Tamil cinema, just with less dancing, and it's hard to believe it's only Thiagarajan Kumararaja's second film. I love hyperlink plots so much when they're done right, and not only are each of the stories intriguing on their own, they blend together seamlessly towards the end, tying up all the loose ends in such a satisfying way. There's a blend of tradition and modernity, defying typical genre conventions and clichés in a way that hasn't been done before in Kollywood. Topics like sex, intimacy and the way they affect everyday life as well as politics are typically taboo in Indian cinema no matter the industry, so it's refreshing to see them approached as boldly as the film's characters tackle obstacles. The camerawork and visuals add another layer of brilliance to the film; the bright, vivid colour palette and thematic use of colours to highlight nature, humanity and emotions serve to romanticise the otherwise gritty backdrop of Chennai. The ensemble cast is filled to the brim with great talents like Fahadh Faasil and Ramya Krishnan, but Vijay Sethupathi really surprised me with his performance as Shilpa, a transgender woman returning to her family. He portrayed her with dignity and elegance, and I'll admit that I cried the most watching her story. But all the roles are approached by their actors with a sense of realism, for better or for worse, which helps to ground some of the more zany subplots. I highly encourage everyone to give Super Deluxe a watch. I know its run-time seems a bit intimidating, but I promise its well worth it, and the minutes fly by; this is a true gem of a film.
