Hollywood director Michael Hoffman says that the Hindi film industry is not only finding its space in international film festivals but is also becoming more ‘sophisticated’.
Hoffman while promoting his movie ‘The Best of Me’ said in an interview, “Bollywood is shifting and changing. Bollywood is getting more sophisticated and broader but still maintaining the roots of Indian cinema”.
“It's getting more respect from all over the world, and even at the international film festivals it is making its place," Hoffman added.
According to media reports Hoffman praised Vishal Bhardwaj's two most appreciated works, which are adaptations of Shakespeare's ‘Macbeth’ and ‘Hamlet’. Interestingly, his ‘The Best of Me’ too is an adaptation. It is based on Nicholas Sparks' similarly titled romantic novel.
“I also feel that Bollywood is sort of coming up. People are a lot more interested and the marriage between the Bollywood style and strong content like ‘Haider’ that kind of film (with) serious content and distinctive style will definitely get crossover recognition,” he added.
