Si la cuisine indienne est considérée par les Français comme la cuisine mondiale la plus épicée (51%), mais aussi la plus exotique (29%) et la plus colorée (30%), cette cuisine reste largement méconnue. Au-delà des emblématiques naans au fromage, qui ont en fait été inventés en France au milieu des années 1970, on trouve une diversité de plats plus savoureux les uns que les autres. On pense par exemple au byriani, au dhal de lentilles, au poulet tandoori ou encore au poulet tikka massala. Par ailleurs, cette cuisine véhicule certains clichés. Elle serait essentiellement constituée de plats en sauce, pour beaucoup végétariens, et reposerait sur une épice bien particulière : le curry. Encore un cliché. Pour questionner la cuisine indienne, Fanny Giansetto reçoit aujourd'hui Sandra Salmandjee, alias Sanjee. À la fois autrice culinaire et fondatrice de Paris-Bombay, une agence de conseil en cuisine indienne, Sandra Salmandjee imagine des cartes de restaurants indiens, des mélanges d'épices ou encore des infusions. Elle partage aussi ses savoirs sur la cuisine indienne dans des cours de cuisine ou dans le magazine télé Chef pays. Son dernier livre de recettes ? "Inde - Balades gourmandes, recettes et art de vivre", paru aux Editions Mango en octobre 2022 ! Ses recommandations ? Les mélanges d'épices, qu'elle a imaginés pour Nomie ; Les restaurants Junglii, dans le 10ème et le 16ème arrondissements de Paris ; Desi Road, situé dans le 6ème arrondissement de Paris ; Le film The Lunchbox réalisé par Ritesh Batra ! *** Pour nous soutenir: - Abonnez-vous à notre podcast ; - Donnez votre avis via des étoiles et des commentaires sur votre plateforme d'écoute préférée ; - Parlez d'Écotable et de son podcast autour de vous ; - Allez manger dans nos restaurants vertueux et délicieux ! *** Écotable est une entreprise dont la mission est d'accompagner les acteurs du secteur de la restauration dans leur transition écologique.

Director Asghar Farhadi discusses his new film, A Hero, with fellow director Ritesh Batra in a Q&A at the DGA theater in New York. The film tells the story of Rahim, a man imprisoned because of a debt he was unable to repay. When he receives a two-day leave, he is confronted with a crisis he would never have imagined.

Peu de villes dans le monde convoquent autant de superlatifs et de contrastes que la bruyante mégapole de Bombay, nommée officiellement depuis 1995 Mumbaï, et coincée sur une étroite péninsule sur la côte ouest de l'Inde.  Ici, en 60 ans, on est passé de 4 à plus de 22 millions d'habitants, des «migrants» venus de tout le pays, attirés par les lumières et les sirènes d'une capitale économique au PIB jusque-là de 300 milliards de dollars. À elle seule, la ville concentre toute la fureur et l'élan du sous-continent indien, dont on a souvent dit qu'elle était la Porte. La première fois que Côme Bastin a posé le pied sur cette planète, parmi la foule, entre gratte-ciels futuristes, vestiges coloniaux indo-britanniques et bidonvilles envahis de plastique, il s'est tout de suite demandé : mais comment ça marche ? Alors, pour nous cette semaine, il a décidé d'y retourner pour tenter d'y répondre. À la rencontre d'amoureux de la ville, de travailleurs acharnés : livreurs, laveurs ou recycleurs, on découvre un colosse urbain aussi fascinant que monstrueux, dont le modèle de croissance et d'expansion est forcément éprouvé par la pandémie actuelle et les bouleversements climatiques.   Un reportage de Côme Bastin initialement diffusé en février 2021.     Pour prolonger le voyage sur la planète Bombay :   En livres « Bombay Maximum City », de Suketu Mehta. Éditions Buchet-Chastel, 2006 « Shantaram », de Gregory David Roberts. Éditions Flammarion, 2007 « La Nuit aux Étoiles », de Shobhaa De.

Buckle up Snobbies for quite possibly the most yummy movies that we've talked about to date. This week, we watched Ritesh Batra's "The Lunchbox." A film where a woman tries to gain back the love and affection of her man through food, but accidentally sends the lunch to another man. This episode has love, intrigue, suspense, and just warm warm feelings throughout. This was a real shocker for the snobs this week. This film really sneaks up on you. Caleb and Ricky were gone for this episode, but we soldier on without them talking about Indian culture, the great Irrfan Khan, an invisible Auntie, and penpals. This is a good one folks. Enjoy!

From Dangal to Pagglait, every role is a challenge, every part is fresh, and doing things the easy way seems to be an alien concept. In an interview a couple of years ago, Sanya Malhotra told me that the most adventurous thing she has ever done was riding a 350cc Bullet from Manali to Leh. Many might disagree with her on that one though, because her career has been nothing if not adventurous. It has not been easy for the 29-year-old though. Having trained in contemporary dance and ballet, Malhotra moved from New Delhi to Mumbai after finishing college in order to participate in reality show Dance India Dance . And while she did not make it past the Top 100, she stayed back in the city of dreams chasing her own ambitions of making it as an actor. What followed was the rigour of the audition circuit and a few small gigs in commercials, both in front of the camera and also assisting behind the scenes. Having shared screen space with another female actor in her first two films, Malhotra's first leading lady role came about a few months later with Badhaai Ho , one of the top grossing films of 2018. It is probably her safest role to date, playing the supportive girlfriend to Ayushmann Khurrana's character in a film that really was hijacked by its older cast (Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao, and Surekha Sikri). It is easy, after all, to build a successful résumé by picking up the heroine roles in films dominated by other people – it is something most of our leading ladies in the past would do. Not so much for this generation though, as evidenced by young Malhotra. Not only did she hold her own amongst the seasoned cast of Badhaai Ho , she followed it up with what is arguably her most solid performance till date. The Lunchbox director Ritesh Batra's Photograph (2019) was the first film Malhotra had signed after Dangal , though it ended up getting made and released only a couple of years later. The intimate story of an unlikely couple finding each other amidst the chaos that is Mumbai, made waves at the Sundance Film Festival that year. More than the film though, it was the then-27-year-old Malhotra who caught the attention of the international film fraternity. So much did she impress with her performance as the fake fiancée of a struggling street photographer Rafi (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) that The Hollywood Reporter named her as one of the five breakout talents to watch out for at the Berlin Film Festival. It is this drive to keep learning new things that has pushed Malhotra to foray into unfamiliar territory with every role that she picks. 2020 saw her in a couple of streaming releases. True to form, her roles in the two films are like chalk and cheese. In Ludo , she plays a young woman desperate to marry a rich man, and her on-screen chemistry with Aditya Roy Kapur hogged paragraphs in every review of the film. In Shakuntala Devi , she plays the role of the disillusioned daughter, and brings a certain amount of nuance to that troubled relationship between mother and daughter. “It's a very complex character,” says Sanya Malhotra about Sandhya, from her upcoming film Pagglait, which premieres on Netflix on 26 March.

This week we're talking about adaptation again, in the context of how to bring a first-person, ruminating narrative about memory and loss into the detached and visual realm of film. Alistair Owen, who has published various books on screenwriting, calls in from England to talk about this interesting adaptation of Julian Barnes' novel 'The Sense of an Ending' which was directed by Ritesh Batra and written by Nick Payne. We use examples from the film to discuss the whether there is such as thing a 'unadaptable', how to show internal change in a character's actions, and how film as a narrative engine perhaps demands more in the way of story and character development than literary fiction.  If you enjoy this episode, you can purchase and enjoy Alistair's book 'The Art of Screen Adaptation' from his website. *** Want to comment, get news and join episode discussions?

Photograph is a meditative movie on a relationship that I hesitate to call love. It took me back to Gulzar Saab’s beautiful lyrics in a song in the 1970 film Khamoshi. To savor the gossamer emotions of Photograph, you first have to buy into the scenario that a girl like Miloni would agree to participate in Rafi’s charade. It is hard to believe but if you can suspend disbelief, you will be rewarded. Photograph is Ritesh’s second film set in Mumbai and once again, the director captures the grimy beauty of the city. #Photograph #RiteshBatra #SanyaMalhotra #NawazuddinSiddiqui

När många barn och ungdomar lever sina liv via Youtube-humorister och spelfenomen som PewDiePie, finns det all anledning att undervisa i bildanalys. Den möjligheten finns men är relativt okänd. Att svenska skolbarn får tillgång till filmpedagogisk undervisning bygger helt och hållet på att lärarna råkar känna till att verksamheten existerar. Ett sårbart men existerande faktum. Kinos reporter Sara Lundin har besökt klass 6 och 8 i en Väsbyskolan utanför Stockholm, där filmpedagogen Christina Höglund lät eleverna se klipp ur Pojktanten och Äta Sova Dö och kortfilmen Vikten av hår. Som förberedelse hade de också sett queerdramat Tomboy. Under en dag fick eleverna sedan diskutera frågor om identitet, genus och självbild utifrån dessa filmexempel.Och så fördjupar sig Fredrik Wadström i indisk film bortom Bollywood. Härom året gjorde filmen The Lunchbox internationell succé med en lågmäld historia om en matlåda på avvägar i Bombay. En platonsk kärlekshistoria uttryckt i väldoftande lunchmat i regi av Ritesh Batra. Kino har träffat regissörerna Chaitanya Tamhane med filmen The Court och Kanu Behl som gjort Titli, två uppmärksammade filmer på internationella festivaler. Dessa två regissörer känner större samhörighet med den europiska filmtraditionen och asiatisk konstfilm än med den indiskt grälla Bollywoodmelodramen.Djur på film är en hel vetenskap, att regissera 250 hundar var en utmaning för den ungerske regissören Kornel Mundruczo som är bioaktuell med filmen Revolten.
