    India Song

    Marguerite DURAS 1975 France Fiction color 118min French 35mm
    t is a love story, in the Indies, during the 30s, in an overpopulated town located on the Ganges' verges. It is the monsoon season. Two days of this story are evocated. Faceless voices speak about this story. They remember it more or less. A female beggar deplores misery and hunger which prevail in the town. That night, during the embassy bal, Anne-Marie Stretter refuses the vice-consul's love. He goes away during the night and shouts his crazy love. The next morning, Anne-Marie also disappears. Based on the only script in her Le cycle Indian series, India Song is a great example of Duras' reworking of the traditional relationship between sound and image.
