Love you to Death is an almost clich storyline told with a highly unusual, unexplored narrative. The film centres on an affluent couple (Sonia and Alok), where the wife has the upper hand, in terms of finances and decisions, while the husband tries to be commanding but merely remains a yelling spouse unable to get things done his way. So much that he isnt even sexually well performing.
When Sonia suddenly becomes environment conscious due to the influence of the attractive foreigner John, Alok gets desperately unsettled as she is willing to set up a solar-plant on the 30 acre prime land where he wanted a factory expansion. The mother-son duos attempt to murder Sonia, whereas destiny has alternate plans for things to function.
Love you to Death is a stereotype-shattering film because it doesnt deal with murder in an archetypal way. So conspiracies arent planned in dingy rooms with sombre undertones, but with casual conversation over coffee. Its dramatic energy is deliberately kept restrained so as to not fit in a straitjacket of an ordinary thriller. Where it most stuns is the spontaneous manner in which it deals with a largely intense issue. Also incorporated is the entire concept of love and war which layers the film, and adds metaphorical depth. The film is carved of some well-framed shots, stunningly bought out by the director-cinematographer, and also flaunts performances that go with the flow and do not disappoint. The one whos looking for the mystery genre will enjoy the radically different fashion in which the film is treated. Deserves a watch.
