Inspired by the true story of a South American pilot who crashed his plane in a field near an Irish town in 1983, the film is seen through the eyes of nine-year-old Paco who believes his absent father is Spanish and working as a NASA astronaut.
Review: Matir Moyna by Tareque Masud
Directed by late Bangladeshi director Tareque Masud, Matir Moyna is one of those films which though firmly rooted in the socio-political environment of a place can have tremendous appeal universally. The film demonstrates the power of a simple story set in a time of social and political upheaval that can resonate with a viewer sitting in any part of the world. But Matir Moyna is as much complex as it is simple. It not only acquaints us with life in an orthodox madrasah through the eyes of a child, but also portrays the coming apart of East Pakistan through the degeneration of characters of various shades in the child’s family.
