Gamak Ghar
Achal Mishra
India.  2019.  91 min

The film takes place in the ancestral home in Madhopur village in Bihar.  Gamak Ghar (The house in the village) unfolds over three phases – 1998, 2010 and the present.  The members of the clan live elsewhere and reconvene in the house on festivals.  They make trips to their mango orchard, catch up on the gossip, watch television together and take dips in the local pool for Chhath Puja celebrations.

Over the years, the number of visitors dwindles. The house starts to lose its sparkle, partly because of recurring floods, and there is talk of reconstructing it.

The film is in the Maithili language spoken in the region.  The characters are based on Mishra’s family members, and are played by neighbours and other villagers.  A photograph of the family patriarch, the playwright and actor Kedar Nath Mishra, is a talismanic presence in the film.  He is not a creature of the imagination, but is actually the director’s grandfather.

Mosley
Michael Shevloff
Great Britain.  2020.  96 min

The film chronicles both the highs and lows of Mosley’s career, during which he was one of Formula 1’s main powerbrokers as President the FIA from 1993-2009.

Produced and directed by Michael Shevloff,  Mosley follows Shevlov’s previous work :  Life at the Limit, which explored F1’s approach to safety and the impact of Professor Sid Watkins.

Featuring appearances from Bernie Ecclestone, Jean Todt,  Flavio Briatore and Gerhard Berger among others,  Mosley himself has promised the film will be a “warts and all thing”.

It’s got everything in it, including the News of the World and what’s happened since.  Bernie’s interview is interesting,  because they go into the whole thing of whose side was he on when the story came out.

“Someone asked does it include Hitler being a guest as his parents’ wedding? The answer is yes it does.”  Mosley’s father Oswald was the leader of the British Union of Fascists in the 1930s.

“There are one or two elements in it that if I were in charge, I would cut out,” Mosley admitted.  “But then it would take away the whole point of it – it needs to be independent.”
