Her Venetian Name in Deserted Calcutta
1976 ยท 1 hr 54 mins
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.
Director: Marguerite Duras
Cast: Delphine Seyrig, Michael Lonsdale, Sylvie Nuytten, Nicole Hiss, Marie-Pierre Thiebaut
