(Welcome to\u00a0The Quarantine Stream<\/strong><\/a>, a new series<\/a> where the \/Film team shares what they\u2019ve been watching while social<\/a> distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Movie<\/strong>:\u00a0Bombay Rose
<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Where You Can Stream It<\/strong>: Netflix
\nThe Pitch<\/strong>: In the bustling city of Bombay, a young flower seller Kamala is the breadwinner for her younger sister and infirm grandfather. One day, she meets Salim, an orphaned refugee who sells bouquets on the streets and dreams of being a Bollywood hero, and they fall in love.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Essential Viewing<\/strong>: India\u2019s award-winning animation master\u00a0Gitanjali Rao<\/strong> made her debut feature with\u00a0Bombay Rose\u00a0<\/em>at the\u00a02019 Venice Film Festival, where it received raves for its hand-painted animation style that looked like an impressionist painting come to life. But like many a festival favorite bought by Netflix,\u00a0Bombay Rose<\/em> seems doomed to be buried in the streamer\u2019s unforgiving algorithm. Don\u2019t let this gem of an animated movie \u2014 equal parts love letter to classic Bollywood cinema and wistful melodrama \u2014 pass you by.<\/p>\n

Never has the city of Mumbai looked so colorful, and bright, and impressionistic. Under Rao\u2019s carefully hand-painted animation (a process that took\u00a018 months with 60 artists), Mumbai transforms from a bustling modern city, full of\u00a0street merchants selling marigolds or heaps of turmeric, to a black-and-white post-colonial cityscape reminiscent of Bollywood\u2019s Golden Age, to a medieval fantasy land with mythical creatures. The Indian city has been dubbed \u201cthe city of dreams,\u201d and\u00a0Bombay Rose<\/em> is a dreamlike ode to that title.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s in this vibrant cityscape that\u00a0Kamala (voice of Cyli Khare) and Salim (Amit Deondi) meet \u2014 she a young flower seller who strings together garlands all day\u00a0near her grandfather\u2019s (Virendra Saxena) watchmaker stand, he a hawker of flower bouquets in the busy streets. It\u2019s a romance for the ages. The pair meet eyes one day, and it\u2019s love at first sight. But several obstacles lay in their way: he\u2019s Muslim, she\u2019s Hindu. Nevertheless, the two of them escape into a star-crossed romance that mostly takes place in their imaginations \u2014 he\u2019s a swaggering Bollywood hero who rescues his sweetheart from a dangerous trafficker, she\u2019s a princess who overcomes all sorts of dangerous threats to be with her lover.
\nBombay Rose<\/em>\u00a0is overflowing with imagination. Not just in its ever-shifting art style, but in its characters who live one step out of reality. Kamala and Salim imagine themselves romantic heroes, while an older film actress retreats to the black-and-white glory days of her youth, the film morphing around her as she wanders through her fading memories. Brush strokes seem to gain sentience, flitting around the screen to form new, more beautiful visions of the world.<\/p>\n

But the characters\u2019 greatest obstacles aren\u2019t in the mythical monsters they imagine, but reality. Kamala struggles to pay off a debt to a local mobster for whom she works at a dance bar at night, while\u00a0Salim has never recovered from his parents\u2019 senseless wartime deaths. Bombay Rose<\/em>\u2018s\u00a0high melodrama meets nostalgia in a heightened homage to Bollywood that can sometimes lean too heavily into the archetypes and the overwrought emotions, but is inarguably an arresting piece of visual storytelling.<\/p>\n
