WORLD CINEMA

The rhythm of the drum beats as dawn rises over the marshland. The celebrations are beginning, it is Independence Day...

A mysterious man dressed as a private guard and armed with a rifle arrives in the town of Doulthapur. This stranger, Kala, soon finds himself caught up in the midst of a bitter and feuding community. The Chairman, seductive, venal and ruthless putports to represent and defend his people – but one man stands in his way - Thakur the local Hindu landlord, driven by his own manic obsessions. Kala and his gun become a vital asset that each side must have.

This intense, contemporary Western by award-winning UK/Bengali filmmaker Sadik Ahmed features breathtaking locations and leading Bangladeshi theatre actors, in a story of passion, jealousy…and revenge.

I was disappointed! I really wanted to like this film, but it was so contrived and so lacking in authenticity that to me it was a major failure. Sorry but this was my only stinker in the entire festival!
