Actor Emraan Hashmi was all praises for Netflix show ‘Adolescence’ , its story telling and the concept which is a Netflix sensation. He said if it was made in India, it would have faced its own set of challenges.
Adolescence on Netflix is created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham. The story focuses on a teenager accused of murdering his classmate. Since it has been released, the film has received widespread critical acclaim. Mostly due to the subject matter, a film like this will have pitfalls of growing up in these times and the influence of social media.
A Bold One-Take Series That Challenges Conventional Filmmaking
It seems a risky project and the highlight is that all four episodes of Adolescence is shot in a single shot without any cuts, divided into four episodes only. Such a film requires many rehearsals and a lot of careful planning. Emraan Hashmi continued that if we put that across to a producer here in India, he would think we are out of our minds. We would need a budget director to lead the team and make this show happen the way it is.
Adolescence marks the 15-year-old Owen Cooper’s debut as Jamie Miller the child accused of murder. Starring Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters and Faye Marsay.
Anurag Kashyap’s views are similar to those of Emraan Hashmi, He says a project would be a logistical nightmare to consider making it in India. He stated that such a project would be rejected outright if we had tried pitching for one.
