India Song (1975)
dir. Marguerite Duras
Drifting through a world of ennui, Anne-Marie passes the time through a series of fleeting affairs with multiple men. The non-synchronous relationship between sound and image casts her private life as a voyeuristic encounter, which becomes a spectacle in itself. Yet this spectacle is shadowed by the ghosts of empire, as the radiant interiors of colonial residences begin to echo Anne-Marie’s inner emptiness. India Song unfolds like an ornate dollhouse, meticulously arranged on the surface, but filled with solitude and quiet melancholy within — bidding farewell to a bygone era.
