I'm sure someone could write a whole essay on why the tilted camera in The Third Man works, but doesn't here. Won Oscars for just about everything, including Anthony Dod Mantle's camera, Chris Dickens' editing and Simon Beaufoy's script (based on the novel 'Q&A' by Vikas Swarup).
A hard film, with Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Anil Kapoor (good; quizmaster), Irrfan Khan (good; detective), Mahhur Mittel (Salim).
The ending (dying in bath full of money) seems a little silly, but the story is ingenious and gripping.
