ABOUT THE FILM INDIA SONG, 1975, Janus Films, 120 min, France Dir: Marguerite Duras. Based on an unproduced play by Duras, INDIA SONG is a haunting portrait of French colonialism in decline and one of the writer-director’s signature films. César nominee Delphine Seyrig stars as Anne-Marie Stretter, whose ambassador husband turns a blind eye to her many affairs – though the affection of a disgraced Vice-Consul (Michael Lonsdale) threatens the status quo. Set in 1930s Calcutta, much of the film was shot near Paris at the Château Rothschild, which was then in a state of disrepair that suited the film’s themes perfectly. FORMAT: 35mm DISTRIBUTOR: Janus Films
