It's not Bollywood!
Indian Film industry
does have something more to offer than Bollywood-
sing-n'-dance-in-unison flicks! Mind you, Indians used to make
politically and philosophically challenging profound films several
decades ago. This film, I repeat, is NOT bollywood. What a relief. KP
is the leading charactor who wanders about Bombay saerching for "value",
I think. He has four main contacts, one with a little girl Didi whom
he cherrishes like his sister, another with a female TV presenter who's
hosting a expose program "split wide open", and yet another with a nice
Catholic priest, finally with a mob who sells water. All four lead us
to a different story, each intertwined together. Each contact
represents a certain set of value, and KP struggles to find out what is
truly valuable. You have to see for yourself what he finds at the end.
This film says that there isn't such thing called pure value. Profound
love, wisdom, realism, tradition, post-modernism, violence; "ha-ha-" to
all of them. Since I'm not an expert in acting and filming, so I won't
comment on them.

Mar 31, 2000 - Film Review: ''Split Wide Open''.
``IF TELEVISION shows happiness, then life is very sad,'' says the
protagonist Kut Price a.k.a. KP in one of the scenes. That line, in a
way, sums up the theme of director Dev Benegal's second cinematic
attempt. (His film was the critically acclaimed ``English August'').
