Proa Cine presents Marguerite Duras’ ‘India Song’
Last screening: Saturday 13th, March – 4:00 pm
Fundación Proa will screen the film India Song (1975, 120 min.), written and directed by Marguerite Duras, in its original 16 mm format.
Reviewed by the critics as her ‘most personal work’, India Song recreates the tragic love stories of Anne-Marie Stretter, the French ambassador’s wife, in 1930′s Colonial India. Four voices narrate the relations between Anne-Marie and her lovers, followed by her dramatic suicide in the Indian Ocean.
Published for the first time in 1973, India Song also became one of Duras’ most celebrated play.
The show will coincide with Alejandro Cesarco’s video-installation Marguerite Duras’ India Song. The conceptual artist’s remake presents a contemporary perspective on the film (more information on Alejandro Cesarco’s exhibition).
