Calcutta

The complexity and uniqueness of Calcutta where life and death clashes more than anywhere in India made Louis Malle to separate it from his Phantom India film. This film is more intense and shocking that it's hard to watch at times. Malle's usual keen eye doesn't shy away to show us what he sees without any censorship. The film gives a glimpse of the complexity of the country that has lured many and continues to fascinate. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
