Ri review: Achal Mishra's sublime portrait of Ladakh is a box of contradictions

Hindustan Times  

Achal Mishra's Ri, which had its world premiere at the recently concluded Dharamshala International Film Festival, is unlike anything else the director has made so far. It is designed as a tapestry of sights and sounds during the 'blue hour' in Ladakh, captured in Abhinandan Sharma and Achal Mishra's captivating eye for space and framing. In one scattered scene, Ri slows down to observe a small family gathered together at their home, preparing Thukpa. Ri, which closes in with a beautiful composition by Tajdar Junaid, does feel indulgent and overbearing in parts, its perception on nature and privacy never less than a stubborn indulgence.
