visceral doric: News Paper article on Filmmaker

(English Subtitled Bengali Feature Film.)

Genre:fiction

Duration :91Min

Year:2012

Dir:R Das

Synopsis:

The protagonist of this film is a poet who though revolutionary in
spirit, has to compromise with the wrongs in the society. ?His
perturbed soul could not tolerate it much longer however. It possessed
his body to govern his actions. Ectoplasm can give a spirit form, but
can it make it humane? That was a question that the poet's late wife
could never answer. While she had been alive, she was a mere
love-interest of her husband! The poet's daughter is quite unlike both her parents.

How can she defy this patriarchal society?

The story of this film is all about the search of the soul to find the correct rhythm of life.
Not ?a poem, not a folk-lore, not a social drama, ?what is the true
identity of this ?film ? ?The individual search finds a universal
resonance in the language of this film.
