    GANGS OF WASSEYPUR: PART I

    ANURAG KASHYAP India, 2012

    Indian director Anurag Kashyap’s two-part gangster epic left us stunned at its premiere in the Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight: equal parts Battles without Honor and Humanity and low-key Martin Scorsese, whose long-time editor, Thelma Schoonmaker edited Kashyap’s latest film. Part 2 to come!

    GANGS OF WASSEYPUR: PART II

    ANURAG KASHYAP India, 2012

    The bloody conclusion of Indian director Anurag Kashyap’s gangster epic. Kashyap uses the expansive length of his saga to chart with a precipitating body count the labyrinthine, death-courting codes of honor and reprisals among his criminals. As engrossing as it is bloodthirsty.
