‘Rapture’ movie review: This is a daring subject that’s likely to blow everyone away

Cast: Celestine K. Sangma, Torikhu A. Sangma, Handam R. Marak, Balsrame A. Sangma

Director: Dominic Sangma

Language: Garo

Rapture (Rimdogittanga) is a film that’s likely to blow everyone away with its craft and theme. The film premiered at the Locarno International Film Festival 2023. It won the Cultural Diversity Award at the Asia Pacific Screen Awards and the NETPAC Award at Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2023. This hauntingly captivating drama is set in a remote village in the Garo hills of Meghalaya. The title of the film actually means immense joy but once you see it, it’s actually the complete opposite. It’s kind of ironic or for some people it could be a mix of both.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

What’s it about?

Every night, the village is gripped by the fear of child-kidnappers following an apocalyptic church prophecy. For a ten-year-old boy who suffers from night blindness, the village has never been more terrifying. The director Dominic Megam Sangma is a graduate of Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute, India. He opened his own production company called ANNA FILMS and co-founded the Kelvin Cinema Festival of Films, of which he is Artistic Director.

When you happen to graduate from such prestigious university, you are bound to make your films or other pieces of work difficult and different from others. The visuals of this film are a sight to behold and it’s something we don’t often see in modern filmmaking or new age cinema. But there’s a lot more to Rapture than just scale, sweep, and grandeur. The film touches upon many themes that other filmmakers might shy away from.

Not too many people are aware about this film, but if it opens in Cinemas, one should definitely check it out only because it brims with fearlessness and beauty. People on social media often crave about wanting to see something different and this film is Chenin different and deserves a chance.

The screening was organised by MAMI in partnership with Colorists Workshop

Rating: 3 (out of 5 stars)
