Son nom de Venise dans Calcutta désert
Drama
7 / 10
June 2, 1976
1h 54m
Language:French
Director: Marguerite Duras
The full soundtrack to Marguerite Duras' 1975 film India Song, about a French ambassador's wife in 1930s India, is here repurposed with all new cinematography. As we hear all the dialogue of a bygone movie, we travel visually through images of absence and decay, bereft of life. It's the ghost of a film, and a further commentary on colonialism.
