Plot:
Building with a constant thump of a beating heart, the teaser for Jami’s second venture Downward Dog, due out in 2014, is an awkward fix.
A modishly composed motion picture that looks like a welcome conundrum - a psychological thriller that’s primarily a venture for the “pull kay paar” audience.
The monochrome footage knitting a loose series of naturally lit shots (which filmmakers know, are painstakingly lit to appear natural), gives piddling insight into what the director calls a ‘classic Noir’ (my initial impression was Neo-Noir).
What we see is a woman (Joshinder), contemplative over a multiple scenes; a man in a biker’s helmet; a mid-shot of Mr. Ejaz behind a string-beaded curtain; a close-up of Mr. Hassan; an impoverished-looking youngster; a swirly sandstorm – and most importantly: no dialogues.
There’s not a lot to empathize with in the teaser’s 2:06 minute interval, apart from Nausheen Dadabhoy’s arresting cinematography (Ms. Dadabhoy’s last venture, Josh, was splendidly shot as well). Nevertheless, seeing the way these sequences unfold there’s evidence of a bound-screenplay pulling the strings of the production.
From first impressions, everything, including the intensity of the score, is calculatingly conspicuous in design. Jami’s direction in frames, like most of the director’s resume, guides the eye to distinct portions of the image without over-decorating the ambiance — which, given the genre and artistic inclination to go black-and-white, is thick enough already. Like I said, it’s an awkward fix whose appeal lies in its own idiosyncrasy. How well Downward Dog unfolds, of course, will depend on when the film hits the cinemas next year.
