Murmurs of the heart, sounds of the people looking around,startling images of looks and sights,descriptions of empty souls and bored minds…“India Song” captures human desires and lost love,greed and lust at it’s most disturbing.Sensual,experimental,baroque,lyrical and poetic,“India Song” is a film-fleuve, an enigma in itself.Voices are heard,hearts are being shattered,minds are going crazy,bodies are touching.An orgy of sensual feelings,a fascinating tableau of jealousy and compulsion,repulsion and melancholy.Duras also shows the horrors of 1930s India(Leprosy,poverty) through the voice of a hurt Indian girl, and the emptiness of the bourgeoisie, a theme protrayed similarly in Alain Resnais’ Last Year in Marienbad or Robbe-Grillet’s Trans-Europ-Express.I could ask nothing more from a film.
