Cobalt Blue....
I've just drowned into the deep shade of Cobalt blue like the rain that swept the stair and turned into blue.
From the very beginning up to end, there is not a single shot that is imperfect. The cinematography and the use of color are simply stunning. The storyline is just superb. It's absolutely a piece of great art work. I'm overwhelmed and still in the resonance of its every word like the man at the lake. This is the power of a good script or a novel. And of course the visionary man who visualized every frame of it.
Nonetheless I can't stop myself thinking about the movie 'Call me by your name'. One year back I watched it. It's also another masterpiece based on the 2007 English novel of the same name by Andre Aciman. It was released in 2017 directed by Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino. Whereas, 'Cobalt Blue' is the novel of Sachin Kundalkar published in 2006 in Marathi language when the writer was 22. Sixteen years after publishing the book, the Author by himself directed the movie which shows us how passionate the writer is about his creation. However, I can't believe how a 22 years old boy could write a book like 'Cobalt Blue' where the human mind was critically analyzed. It's amazing, I don't think so.
Hat off to Sachin Kundalkar!
