The Crow's Egg
"The Crow's Egg mines the wide open territory between Tamil social realism and Bollywood escapism. Big Crow's Egg and Little Crow's Egg - the name comes from their favourite scavenged food - are two poor kids from the slums of Chennai. They have one burning ambition: to taste a slice of the wondrous new global consumer food, pizza, from the glossy new franchise in their neighbourhood. Their enthusiasm is undiminished by the fact that a slice costs more than their family's monthly income. This is a film that manages to have its heart and its head in the right place." - Adelaide Film Festival
