Mumbai Film Festival 2023: Seven Gems That Deserve Greater Buzz

Here are seven must-watch films in the Mumbai Film Festival 2023

An array of films by world cinema heavyweights will play at the upcoming Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival (October 27-November 5) - Ken Loach's The Old Oak, Wim Wenders' Perfect Days,, Aki Kaurismaki's Fallen Leaves, Hong Sang-soo's In Our Day, Agnieszka Holland's Green Border and Justine Triet's Palme d'Or-winning Anatomy Of A Fall, to name a few. Who would want to miss these films? But that isn't all there is to the festival. Venture beyond these acclaimed titles and you will find in its massive trove an array of sparkling gems made by accomplished directors (several of them debutants) who may not be instant draws but, on the strength of what they have up their sleeves here, are second to none not only for what they have to say, but also for how they say it. Their films either speak truth to power with firm conviction or push the boundaries of narrative conventions in other significant ways.
