Halt

Bangladeshi indie films ought to be reaching more to its people. There need to be much more promotional ventures of films like these sorts.

Halt is an anthology film containing three different stories with the same theme: deception or outwitting. The film was a great watch the whole time, especially I found the cinematography and background score pretty attaching. Truth be told, it actually even felt sort of 'exotic' to me. I really can't say that living in the same country but the place, the atmosphere, the characters, their language; everything appeared to be so 'unknown' and 'other' to me. And what made this whole feeling of unfamiliarity more realistic got to do with the camera-work and the setting of the film. Halt is a film that tells a very familiar story but with its own aloof style of narrative.

P. S.: Other than that, what was the significance of turning that frog into some sort of low budget cgi thing? Was that a subtle part of some kind of semiotics or was it just that? I need an insight into this.
