More (1969)
Where is pleasure without tragedy?
"In the midnight hour, she cried, 'more, more, more'", or, if you will, "You're more than life to me, more than eternity, and the more I know of you, all the more I love you." And it just make me remember a day before today, a day when you were young.
More is a fantastic example of counterculture of the 1960s.
Cycle (2011)
New-feminism in Bangladesh.
Good initiative and fresh try. Bestially combination between the bicycle bell and background sounds matched perfectly as I think. Though actor-actress ware unprofessional, by this case there are some leaking, but not so. Story-line was bold, and good steps for the new-feminism in Bangladesh.
