Curry & Cyanide: The Jolly Joseph Case (2023)
First Indian true crime documentary I've seen
The crimes described in this documentary are horrible and despicable. I am very sorry for the sons who have lost so many loved ones, and, in a way, have also lost their mother.
It was very interesting to watch for me because I've never seen a true crime documentary from India. As a European, I think you can learn quite a bit through this docu beyond the actual topic. For example, I didn't know there are so many Christians in Kerala and I found it interesting to learn about the dominant gender roles that kind of protected Jolly from suspicion for so long. That made this docu much more interesting than watching yet another true crime docu about an american or European case.
Also: Great respect to the aunt who pushed for a police investigation. She seems to be a truly just person.
Bad Trip (2021)
Funny and heartwarming
Not only is this a really funny movie that made me laugh hard. The reactions of many of the pranked people are also so human and heartwarming, it's beautiful.
Toon (2016)
That's good stuff
If you love Curb your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development or Peep Show, you will have a good time watching "Toon". Great acting, well-written dialogues, well-paced and awkwardly funny in the best way. Plus, it's interesting to watch something from the Netherlands.
