Once Again (2018): Celebration Of Meaningful Storytelling

Once again netflix movie

There’s a certain tremulousness on her lips as her moist eyes burn with an almost invisible intensity.

There’s sensual poetry in her gait; her flowing sari defining, freeing her; she holds back, she moves; her 10 pm calls are life affirming, a little flirtatious, a lot sweet, a bit spicy and never tentative.

She is an all woman, a woman that makes a woman; desire swells in her, awakening her but nothing comes before her pride.

She breathes sensuality, like a boiling cauldron with a lid on, by design. You can feel it in the way her eyes talk.

She wants to fly, and fly she will; her flight will take her to new terrains of a near-faraway place, where you soar and more, only to return to the yet unrequited frontier of love and longing.

She will come home, eventually. Once again!

It’s a beautiful, sensitive film about mid-life romance, touching an emotive chord with its awkward silences; so much is left unsaid and that’s a part of the allure — restrained and compelling to the core. A celebration of meaningful storytelling, this Netflix original may lack expanse but its journey is inwards.

Class act by the two lead protagonists, sharp direction and sublime music by Talvin Singh.
