"Gaurav Seth's The Art of Dying is an hypnotic film about a man's search for meaning to his life. One particular incident makes him obsessed with death. He knows the only thing one learns in life - death and its inevitability. It scares him. How does he get over this phobia? Seth, who is believed to have learnt his film-making in Russia, weaves a neat little story and the quest for meaning is palpable. Maybe there are some stretched out portions, but the mysticism and meaning comes across strongly!"
