The Unseen Sequence has got terrific Press coverage ever since it started screening. Many papers have covered it repeatedly.
But, perhaps, the most unusual "review" was posted in the form of a poem by Karthikeyan after the Chennai screening. Check it out!
"The camera revealingly shifts from close-up to long-shot, from angle to angle, showing the rich multidirectionality of Bharatanatyam, the interplay between strict geometric form and speaking gesture, and, above all, the singular way a great Indian dancer visibly subordinates the self to a sense of something far larger."
Alistair Macaulay The New York Times
"At a time when artistes like Malavika are making an effort to preserve living classical traditions, retain their essence in the face of rapid commercialisation and make them engaging rather than allowing them to be a mere spectacle, Ghosal thinks what The Unseen Sequence could do is excite the uninitiated, make the form accessible and demystify the art."
Chitra Swaminathan The Hindu
"Faced with Ghosal's searching questions, his great desire to know and understand her art as fully as he can, Sarukkai'sanswers acquire an immediacy that catches and holds our attention."
Shanta Gokhale Mumbai Mirror
"The Unseen Sequence is about an artist who didn’t give up her dream, who found her freedom in dance. It’s about an artist who did all her exploration in dance, and whose life itself is dance.
And Sumantra Ghosal perfectly captured the journey of this great dancer in the structure of cinema to make it a must watch for every art lover."
