<-- back Don't try any of this at home! Advertized as "The Great Indian LSD Trip", Om  Dar-B-Dar is the curious case of a film that has been praised as both the least  Indian and the most Indian movie you will ever see: the only film that has ever  succeeded to capture the true essence of Indian mythology, and the only one  that has ever dared to make an absurd, blasphemous, psychedelic mess of it. Of those who have attempted to retrace the long and winding journey along the   lines of its plot, only few have returned with a proper synopsis. Most of them  tend to agree that we are following the story of a schoolboy named Om who grows  up in a small town in Rajasthan, and many will acknowledge the recurring  appearances of bicycles, frogs and diamonds, even though not necessarily in any  particular order. But while some are going to point out the rather peculiar  prominence of certain chemical substances, most notably nitrogen, helium and  potassium cyanide, others will insist that the film draws a secret connection  between the moon landing, birth control and jihadi pollywogs (sic). A few  scholars are even making the claim that the many spiritual dimensions of the  story are fully contained within a single toothpaste commercial, whose inclusion in the film should be surprising enough on its own. In addition, there have  been reports of gunshots around the one-hour mark, followed by fireworks and/or  explosions. Also, Om dies, kind of... but that's about it. Kamal Swaroop's film  is undoubtedly the weirdest assortment of footage anyone has ever managed to  sneak past the Indian film censorship board, and it remains, to this day, one  of our favorite entries in the entire history of Indian cinema - including the  rather obvious nominations for best screenplay and absolutely best soundtrack. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                                                           Sunday                                                                        August 26                                                                        from 9 pm                                                                     Om Dar-B-Dar                                                                    Kamal Swaroop                                                                    1988, 101 min                                                         https://0xdb.org/0246825                                                       https://indiancine.ma/ACZS                                     https://piratecinema.org/trailers/s07e14.mp4                                                                       + Vorfilme                                                                      + Nachfilme                                                                            + Bar                                                             Pirate Cinema Berlin                                                                 U Kottbusser Tor                                                            E-mail for directions --------------------------------------------------------------------------------          ()          >< pirate cinema berlin www.piratecinema.org <-- back
