Robert Eggers is the true Messiah here. He has brought a classic to life; this modern century's version of Manichithrathazh, more like Manichithratu, is nothing short of a masterpiece with its uncanny beauty. Willem Dafoe portraying Sunny was an unexpected delight I've been looking forward to; he, with ten faces, resembles Ravana. The memorable lines delivered by Thilakan are what I think of whenever I see him, having consumed everything and leaving no traces behind. Perhaps reserved for A10, the unparalleled, I can solely perceive Manichithrathazh in this piece and am already appreciating this classic.

Rewatched this gem and realized that nobody can beat the ultimate Mohanlal in his prime 90's, the goat of Malayalam cinema ❤. Onnum kudi parrayate idheham mohanlal aanu thekkyathe thanne minukki nammukk kittya 💎.
