| Maya Tideman and Uttara Baokar star in "Lessons in Forgetting" |
"Lessons in Forgetting" was the first feature I was able to see upon arriving in Rome. The Indian production's inclusion into the festival should be noted more as evidence to RIFF's international nature and less for the film's quality. Author Anita Nair adapted the screenplay from her own book and grabs your attention pretty quickly. Unfortunately, a messy structure and shallow performances keep "Lessons in Forgetting" from feeling like anything more than an 80's made-for-television film.
