IFFK 2012: Paul Cox About Blessy's Movie Kalimannu ''Why celebrate violation?''- Paul Cox on the birth scene in Blessy's 'Kalimannu'.     Blessy's upcoming movie 'Kaliveedu' felt the heat of controversy at the 2012 IFFK 2012 . This time none other than eminent Australian filmmaker and Jury Chairman, Paul Cox expressed his opinion about the controversial birth scene featuring Swetha Menon. 'Why celebrate violation', was Paul Cox's rhetorical question on the matter. His movie 'Innocence' is Blessy's inspiration behind the award winning movie 'Pranayam'. The jury chairman was talking at the In-Conversation forum at the 17th International Film Festival of Kerala. Blessy's earlier reaction to the controversial issue was a request to watch the movie before passing any judgement on the birth scene.  http://www.metromatinee.com/IFFK2012/iffk-2012-paul-cox-about-blessys-movie-kalimannu http://www.metromat...
