INDIA SONG (Marguerite Duras, 1975, DCP, 120 mins)The downfall of Anne-Marie, wife of the French ambassador in 1930s Calcutta, is told through off-screen whispers, while on screen she drifts through a decaying mansion, driven by ennui to a dalliance with a disgraced diplomat. INDIA SONG is an “elliptical dream poem” (Travis Crawford) and a “rarefied work of lyricism, despair, and passion, imbued with a kind of primitive emotional hunger” (Molly Haskell). In French with English subtitles. DCP from Janus.
