(The Wolf
and the Lamb)
by
Mysskin
Mysskin is
one of the best we directors have . He keeps the pace of his films tight, and
mood dark.
In OA, a
medical student stumbles upon a dying, injured man, shot in the foot. Refused medical
help from every quarter, the student ends up saving the man who turns out to be
a contract killer.
The patient
flees the next day, and cops force the student to cooperate with them in
finding the dreaded killer. As is the wont in cinema, the killer has a sad
background story. He carries around with
him a family of three blinds, who are dependent upon him since the day he had
killed their son.
Mysskin
himself plays the role of the Wolf. The Lamb, ie the medical student is played
by Sri. Mysskin has resisted the temptation to go overboard for ninety percent
of the time. There a tad too many killings for the narrative to be considered
credible. The duality of good and evil runs through the whole plot.
