Review of Slumdog Millionare

A noisy, sub-Dickens update on the romantic tramps tale, Slumdog Millionaire zips around a boys hard-luck life with a strange verve. Ragtag children run through a labyrinthine Indian shantytown with a natural law officeholder in hot pursuit. Two boys ride atop a moving train, hanging up align down over the side to steal food from a wealthy family. The same boys survive at the Taj Mahal and give bogus tours to German tourists. Later they remove an American couple around a scenic liquidation by foot while locals strip their fancy car for parts. The kids are cute, shots are stylishly skewed, cuts are whip-quick, and rousing remixes of M.I.A.s omnipresent Paper Planes pop-pop and ching-ching throughout. Poverty can be so a great deal fun.

But theres a drive to the filmmaking, a harping insistence that something fresh is happening here (or over there) despite the musty narrative. There are pop seductions, such as an emergent cityscape reflected by the tinted shells of designer sunglasses, or a sly, pulse-pounding sequence improbably motivated by the shopworn mechanics of telemarketing, but the film stalls on style. corresponding a deep-pocketed club owner or talent manager, Boyle sells Mumbai -- or the hip Anglo vision of it -- as the new hotness. And pace the title, hes slumming his agency to millions.
