Brig Ma'am Nope, I missed the showing in NYC. Not sure if they had any in Philly. A couple of people I know who saw it liked it. Here's the Nepali Times Review:Coming of age with Kagbeni
We don’t have to be embarrassed about Nepali movies anymore
KUNDA DIXIT
From Issue #382 (11 January 08 - 17 January 08) | TABLE OF CONTENTS
![](http://www.nepalitimes.com/cms/ib/data/1/50/12596.jpg) QUEST ENTERTAINMENT
|
BEDROOM SCENE: Saugat Malla (Krishna) and
Deeya Maskey (Tara) in a sequence from Kagbeni. This must be the
boldest love scene ever in Nepali cinema, but it is done with finesse
and is devoid of vulgarity. |
After watching Kagbeni when it premiers on Friday, many viewers will
say it is the best Nepali movie they have seen. Trouble is, that’s not
saying much.
Given its inane mediocrity and crass imitation of Bollywood,
anything would be better than Nepal’s pubescent film industry. But even
by international standards, Kagbeni is a handsome movie: superbly
crafted, seductively acted, meticulously directed. No longer will we
have to be embarrassed about Nepali movies. (See also: ‘Aiming high with Kagbeni’, #381)
The film starts with the starkly scenic panorama of the
trans-Himalaya forming. Combine this ethereal location with a classic
thriller (based on the 1902 novel by WW Jacobs, The Monkey’s Paw) and
for two hours you are transported into a Faustian dreamland.
The minimalist screenplay by Prashant Rasaily distills Jacobs down
to a barebone plot. Krishna returns from Malaysia and is reunited with
his childhood friend, Ramesh. But there is a sense of foreboding when
they meet a sadhu who gives them a talisman with tantric powers. After
this the story becomes a drama that unfolds at two levels: the real and
the occult.
Director Bhusan Dahal does a surprisingly slick job, considering
this is his first feature film, by getting everyone involved to give it
their best. There is a perfectionist attention to detail in Dahal’s
direction. The characteristic up-valley gales of the Kali Gandaki blow
through the cinema in surround sound, the faces of the actors are all
weathered by sun and wind as they are in real-life Kagbeni. The film’s
languid pace fits perfectly with the way the hours in a day and the
seasons pass in the mountains of rural Nepal.
The director has included local crudities: the lead actor wipes snot
on his jacket, and Dahal even gets away with having a sleazy trader
scratch his crotch in public. Empty brandy bottles clink in harmony
with mule bells, creating music.
The soothing flute score by Sharad Gurung is a perfect accompaniment
to the backdrop. Nothing is overdone, even though it must have been
tempting to add more minutes of timelapse cinematography as the clouds
race past Dhaulagiri. Bidur Panday restrains himself and has some
excellent vertical shots that accentuate the stacked houses and narrow
alleys of Lower Mustang.
The indoor scenes evoke the feeling of a stage set, and this is not
surprising because leading actors Saugat Malla (Ramesh) and Deeya
Maskey (Tara) are both from theatre. Malla does a stellar job first as
a morose Ramesh, and nine years later as a responsible family man
troubled by his past. Deeya’s understated performance makes the
soul-wrenching grief she has to portray towards the end even more
powerful. Viewers may at first be sceptical of pop singer Nima Rumba
(Krishna), but he puts on an strongly convincing performance.

Kagbeni may not be a Golden Globe nominee, but producers Bhaskar
Dhungana, Nakim Uddin and Rajesh Siddhi have honed their skills with
this debut effort, and may do even better with their next venture, Sano
Sansar, due for release later this year. Kagbeni could have been
shorter, the music during the supernatural scenes could have been less
melodramatic, some characters are mechanical and detached. But overall
this is a film that proves Nepali cinema has finally come of age. Even
in a fairy tale, it protrays a gritty, dusty, real Nepal not a
sanitised, escapist one seen in most Kollywood musicals.
As you wait in excruciating suspense for a climax that you know will
be tragic, the moral of the story hits you even before the end rushes
come on: “Be careful what you wish for.â€
Kagbeni will be
shown from Friday, 11 January at Jai Nepal and Kumari (01-4442220) and
in cinemas across Nepal in high definition digital format. Watch Kagbeni Trailer

Juggy - you have curly hair, she has curly hair - AHEM! Man, something is cooking here! Something big, I tell you, Brig Ma'am. We need to find out what's going on. How about an investigation to be headed Flippy Nancy Drew to get to the bottom of this? LOL!

Ha ha ok! While in the theater, watch out for the guy in the middle row, third seat from the left - with curly hair and sitting next to a girl also with curly hair and large beautiful eyes - who knows they might be people you know
