EMOTIONAL MEET OF LEE WITH BERGMAN!

This picture is, when Taiwanese master filmmaker Ang Lee met great Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman in 2006!

Bergman's great film 'The Virgin Spring' (1960) had a tremendous impact on Ang Lee when he was a student of cinema in Taiwan! And coincidence that Lee introduced Criterion Collection of DVD of this film!

Climax of Bergman's great film 'The Virgin Spring' (1960).

So when Lee met to Bergman for that, he became very emotional!

Yesterday was Ang Lee's birthday and I remembered this!

'The Virgin Spring' is my favourite film also and I wrote a lot on it!

LOLLYWOOD SPECIAL!

MAYA ALI IN SHOAIB MANSOOR'S FILM!

Beautiful Pak actress Maya Ali!

Pak filmmaker Shoaib Mansoor

This is good news that, Maya Ali is going to play lead role in Shoaib Mansoor's next film. I always admire the work of these finest actress & director of contemporary Pakistani Cinema!

Recently I wrote here about beautiful Maya Ali's come back on small screen with serial 'Pehli si.. Mohabbat'! And now this news about her acting in renowned Shoaib Mansoor's film. This is her just third appearance on big screen. Emmad Irfani is acting alongwith her in it which is titled 'ABG'!

Shoaib Mansoor is brilliant filmmaker who always comes with strong social themes. I watched his - earlier films 'Khuda kay liye' (2007) & 'Bol' (2011) in film festivals here! But missed his third film.. 'Verna' (2017). 

Recently I watched song "Dua-E-Reem" wrote, composed & directed by Shoaib Mansoor! This is a statement of woman and pretty Mahira Khan performed nicely in it!

Best wishes to both!!
