THE FOURTH DIRECTION (Chauthi Koot) (2015) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Gurvinder Singh

Written by - Waryam Singh Sandhyu, Gurvinder Singh

Starring - Harnek Aulakh, Gurpreet Bhangu, Rajbir Kaur

"GURVINDER SINGH's film is set in the eighties in india, in the midst of the conflict between Sikh militants and Indian authorities. Nevertheless, its examination of the resulting paranoia and distrust that resulted from the tense and violent atmosphere makes THE FOURTH DIRECTION timeless and universally relevant. 

The narrative structure is a little baffling and may make THE FOURTH DIRECTION seem lacking in focus as far as the story is concerned. Despite this, its stints in metaphorical storytelling is charmingly traditional and effective. 

On top of this, the cinematography is often quite stunning, mostly set in deserted and rural places of India, and occasionally adding a type of poetry that conceals a fundamental love of the director for his country."
