The Manthan scene in Cannes - a classic restoration of film

I spotted this Scorpion!

A Cannes Classic film and song!

A 1st ever crowd funded film “Manthan” - churning through the care of a classic 500 farmer model of Co-operatives, the story of Amul and India’s White Revolution.

The Ocean of Milk imagined by Dr Verghese Kurien, the white revolution with nature yellow colour of milk which comes from a beta-carotene source of pigment found in grass which cows feed on.

Naseeruddin Shah and Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, are here at Cannes film festival, discussing the restoration of film, and with Shah having experienced living in the village over a month, in a hut, method acting. The first impression was a character who donated all things and a 35mm print, so he thought to hell with acting! With no sound and flicker problems on the green lines, the turning point was when Martin Scorsese wanted to restore the colour, travel and the journey all the way.

He introduced films that should be made, displaying their wares, arrogance, compassion, and sense of humour, with a bit of masculinity. Imagine at 89 years going on Set, a freebie with an Icon in Close-Up, singing like in the Italian, French and Swedish movies.
