White Sun (2016) - 89 min

Country: Nepal
Director: Deepak Rauniyar
Cast: Dayahang Rai & Rabindra Singh Baniya.
Chandra, a soldier in the Maoist army returns to his home village after hearing the news of his father’s death. Chandra and his brother Suraj needs to carry their father’s body to the cremation place.
While watching a movie, sometimes you feel like it's a world cinema material or kind of that stuff you don't see very often. White Sun can be added to that list. The movie speaks more about the custom they following and the major one among that is the dead body cannot be carried through the front door. The unsaid words or anger towards each other will all rise during this period which is very common I guess. The Himalayan peaks and mountain trails add extra beauty to the plot and credits goes to the cinematographer Mark O’FearghailIt was selected as the Nepali entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 90th Academy Awards. Overall, Deepak Rauniyar actually invites you to Nepaltra, a small Nepalese mountain village to witness the lifestyle and traditions of the people that live in the mountains.
Verdict: Good
