Widely credited to be one of the major auteurs who pushed for experimental cinema in the contemporary Malayalam Cinema Industry, Lijo Jose Pellissery has revolutionized and redefined the ambitions of Mollywood. The direction of the popularly recognized ‘Master of Chaos’ is often characterized to be raw, desperate, and hilarious but dismisses any attempt to be performative even though his productions are introspective and self-reflective. He has developed his own distinct genre and expressionist style of filmmaking that tries to explore the grim and uncomfortable truths of the human psyche through absurdist humor set in environments that turn chaotic.

In this video, we will analyze tropes and stylistic trademarks in Pellissery’s 3 recent films: Angamaly Diaries, EE. MA. YAU & Jallikattu
