Rashid Irani once owned a traditional Irani restaurant, the kind that were invariably at the city's busiest crossroads and are now fast disappearing. But over the decades, Rashid's heart beat firmly at twenty four frames per second as he traversed many worlds, re-living Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Werner Herzog, Abbas Kiarostami and more; along with books on cinema and poetry. This is a film about him, his cafe, his neighbourhood and a world of erasure, accelerating in the time of covid. A dedicated bachelor who 'lived life vicariously through movies', RIP, Rashid Irani.
