‘Iravin Nizhal’ movie review: R Parthiban’s breathtaking single-shot film is a remarkable technical achievement
The HinduJuly 13, 2022 04:10 pm | Updated July 14, 2022 04:53 pm IST A single-shot film creates an illusion of continuity of time and space, like in real life. In most cases, single-shot is a myth that filmmakers create in order to distract the audience from noticing the cuts, unlike, say, Don Palathara’s Santhoshathinte Onnam Rahayasam which was actually shot like a continuous film. In that sense, Iravin Nizhal is a film that downloads right in front of our eyes just like a play, and the audience’s engagement remains vital. So we had to time all of the lighting changes, making sure you don’t see shadows.” Iravin Nizhal’s set consists of 59 little blocks like a maze. Iravin Nizhal Cast: R Parthiban, Priyanka Ruth, Brigida Saga, Anandha Krishnan, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Robo Shankar Director: R Parthiban Technical team: Arthur A Wilson, R Parthiban, AR Rahman, Vijai Murugan, Kunal Rajan and Craig Mann A film’s merit cannot, shouldn’t be restricted to it being the ‘first’ of many.
