Cashback

How many times have you sat for a movie expecting nothing and then, when you start watching, you realize... slowly... that each scene of the movie is bringing that dazzle on your face. How many times have you felt that you have known those characters in the movie, you have seen them, you have heard them talk, their smile, their expressions… Was it yourself in them?. How many times have you seen each frame of a movie getting better and better, like slowly getting to the center of a chocolate toffee? How many times have seen a movie that narrates a story in pure art soaked with beauty? How many times have you seen a movie whose scenes are crafted in an angle which you always wanted to get? Cashback just blew me away!

A wonderful movie well written and directed by Sean Ellis. His first major venture came out as the "shorter version" of Cashback. Cashback is a beautiful movie! Backed by Agnus Hudson's crafty camera angle/tricks. If you haven't watched it, go watch it. But with least expectation. My taste may not match yours...! Nyways, am looking forward to Sean Elli's next movie...

Given below is the trailer of the movie. Folks who haven't watched the movie, please skip the trailer...
