Lust Stories

Movie Info
Synopsis
Lust Stories is the sequel to 2013 movie Bombay Talkies presenting four short films by four of India's biggest directors exploring love, sex and relationships in modern India.
In Lust Stories, every performance is outstanding. The films are held together by the female protagonists, and the men contribute a lot to these stories. These films, taken as a whole, have a point to make and may help spark a discussion about important topics like monogamy and infidelity. But there isn't much entertainment in the whole thing, which is important for someone who wants to watch four movies at the same time. The good news is that it is not showing in theaters but rather on Netflix. As a result, when you watch Lust Stories, the remote's power will come in handy.
We're an inconceivably different country. Lust Stories seems to imply that there is room for everyone, despite the fact that there are sufficient reasons for us to disagree with one another, particularly in these days when antagonistic behavior is almost encouraged; for a wide range of individuals, a wide range of societies or more every one of, a wide range of motion pictures.
Lust Stories takes its inspiration from the Paris, je t'aime series and anthology films like New York Stories, which are known more for the filmmakers they attracted (Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Woody Allen) than for the stories they told.Wikipedia

Lust Stories is out on Netflix, and I applaud these four distinct filmmakers for exploring this anthological format and still maintaining their originality of vision. Your mileage may vary on which film you like best, but it is heartening to watch these creators decode the idea of lust and never at ... { more

My advice would be to watch all four films as a whole and in the order the filmmakers intended. It’s more enriching.

Go for Lust Stories as it explores the less charted plane of female desires and the acceptance of lust, from filmmakers of an industry which relies more on romance and love, in every form. Mind you, the film will make you question the intermingling realms of love and lust, maybe not in the most fla ... { more

After a few misses, Netflix, known for its edgy content, scores by picking up these tales which document the set ways of society as well as the changing dynamics, that’s not confined to under the bedsheets. These are fun, poignant and introspective tales that attempt to unravel the mysteries of wom ... { more

Through four short films, directed by four of the country’s most prominent Hindi filmmakers, it presents the sort of unusual stories that feel fresh, yet familiar. It’s almost like a sampling platter that you might find at a fancy restaurant, an unexpected marriage of contrasting styles and sensibi ... { more

Given the talent involved, its feeble male presence and failure to look beyond heterosexual framework is disappointing. But it is also definitely worth a watch for exactly the same reason.

In Lust Stories, the directors have a huge field to play around in and they make the most of it. They prove that lust, after all, is yet another expression of love.

It’s remarkable though how four shorts, on the face of it, about something as perfunctory as lust at first night, packed neatly into two hours, delves so seamlessly into seemingly uncomfortable but potent subjects as romance, commitment, desire, class, and sex, of course.

Lust Stories is a step in the right direction. This is the main reason I'm going to refrain from stating my favourite short, because I feel it'll be a premature opinion. One must watch Lust Stories, dreamily, a couple of more times to fully soak it in. The stories may not have worked as longer feat ... { more
Audience Reviews for Lust Stories
-
Anthalogical cinema has always fascinated me: there is complete satisfaction in less than the duration of a regular film. Bombay Talkies is an examplary benchmark. Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Bannerjee and Anurag Kashyap created yummy stories whuch were heartfelt, shaking and fresh. Subtlety was the strong game of these films and there was fully fledged narrative depiction with little plot devices. It was a perfect celebration of hundred years of Bollywood.
This one has a larger lens and a more developed screening- you will not be able to get it on your cinema halls, instead, it's on Netflix. And I admire this- if it were to be released in the cinemas, it would not have acquired popularity, money and added to it, the stigma of many cuts would have grabbed you from going for it.

There comes a film every once in a while that tries too hard to convey a message but falls flat on its own face mostly due to a lack of substantial content and heavy doses of embellishments. Netflix's Lust Stories is one such anthology film with four 30-minute stories that aspire to break taboos associated with women's sexuality but are, in fact, purveyors of nonsense. Except for Karan Johar and Anurag Kashyap hitting one or two right chords with their stories about vaginal pleasure and emotional attachment respectively, Lust Stories gasps for freshness and logic. While Johar's young housewife (Kiara Advani) is dissatisfied with her husband's performance on bed and so looks for external stimuli in a righteous way, Kashyap's teacher (Radhika Apte) is obsessed with a youngster who she had a ... { Read More
