An Aweful Eternitie

The hushed "oui"s and stillness is beautiful... but this film becomes frustrating for me eventually. I'll have to give it another go later.

In its melacholic, austere, yet desolate landscape, Duras deconstruction of narrative conventions makes this an unforgetable,and intimate experience, as we struggle to put together the pieces of a long lost story. With nothing to envy to better know masterpieces such as Marienbad, and sharing the same avant garde fierceness of cinema masters like Robbe Grillet, India Song will remain as one of cinema´s true classics.

Some what a reminiscence of Alain Resnais’ “Hiroshima, Mon Amour” and “Last Year at Marienbad” (two much superior films) India Song in many ways stands on it’s own. The direction by Marguerite Duras is quite different from Resnais using more long takes, and longer scene durations it evokes a feeling of loss and sorrow, love and despair. The narrations and of screen dialogue ads a mysterious and distant element to the narration.

The juxtaposition of the images and the narration made this film for me. It was a great experience.
