Another View 2012 / Ful futuk na futuk aaj basanta / India 2012
A new girl moves in to the neighborhood and the local guys start gathering around her window. This poetic black-and-white movie combines traces of Indian passion with the stillness of a European art film. With poetic concision, the film brushes up against subconscious human desires, which it conveys with delicacy and depth.
This lyrical story of Bonobashi, a girl who lives in an old Indian town, resembles the fairy tale about the princess locked in a castle chamber. After moving into a poor quarter, the attractive young woman becomes a magnet for the attentions of every local man and boy. But since her arrival she has yet to leave the apartment to walk out onto a street full of curious adolescents. She shares the apartment with an eccentric old man, probably her father, who strictly controls her contact with the outside world. One of those interested is Bishu, a young man who wanders the streets of the neighborhood. The movie creates a poetic impression of the closed world of the poor district and its isolated inhabitants. Using simple and captivating means, it reveals a network of boisterous emotions that it invests with internal magic and mystery. The director’s distinctive vision is underscored by effective black-and-white camerawork that picks up the subtle nuances of atmosphere.
