Kaagaz Ke Phool

A story about fame, love, the downfall and loneliness of a famous director, Suresh. The cinematography is beautiful and definitely ahead of it's time. Some of the shots are so beautiful framed and composed, my favourite one comes 30 mins into the film as Suresh sitting on his directors chair faces Shanti who is standing and as we pull out a beam of light (spotlight) conjures behind them. So beautiful. The story dips in the middle section and the songs are forgettable but it is saved by a great and emotional ending.

So every film of Guru Dutt is Waheeda Rehman trying to heal him out of his depression and misery?

"Kagaz Ke Phool" feels like watching someone pour their soul onto the screen, only to realize the world isn’t kind to dreamers. Like Guru Dutt himself, the film was unappreciated in its time, only to be revered later—just a little too late....
