Dareechah-e-Nigaarish

Have just finished watching the 1974 British Art film "Brief Encounter" starring Sophia Loren and Richard Burton. This movie is available free on YouTube (see link above) and is based on the play "Still Life" by Noel Coward ... Loved this movie which was directed by Alan Bridges with a brilliant screenplay by John Bowen ... reminded me of the Bridges of Madison County in some ways and also of a 1980s Bollywood Indian Art film "Ijazat" starring Rekha and Naseeruddin Shah in th e railway station locale scenes ... the way John Bowen's screenplay always has a lively to and fro, hustle and bustle in the background while the intimate interplay of emotions and desires flickers before us in the two main actors and their conversation carried on in confiding glances and low key exchanges flitting back and forth between them . . . almost as if their souls had been parched and starved for ages and they couldn't stop feeding off each other's aura . . . lovely film ....
