Karam (2005, India)

Progressive Indian cinema involving a hitman who massacres all but one members of a family, and then is remorseful. There is a lot of allegory, and a lot of mood-inducing settings, which for me made it a difficult film to follow.

Very briefly in a sort of fantasy sequence -- the film is full of them -- the opposing bad man is seen in an animal print bra. He is a heavy man in both senses of the word and I am not sure it does anything for him.

The still here is shown in a broken mirror; I think it is only coincidence that this seems to have given him a more feminine waist than the actor really has.
