Son nom de Venise dans Calcutta désert
1976 · 114 MIN · IMDB 7.3 · 189 VOTES · DIR. Marguerite Duras
Overview
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.
