Shoonya (Zero Zone). 2006. India. Written and directed by Arindam Mitra. With Kay Kay Menon, Seema Biswas, Naseerudin Shah. Mitra’s debut feature, inspired by T.S. Eliot’s The Murder in the Cathedral, is a finely wrought tale of temptation, treason, and honor. A star cricketer—played with great subtlety by Menon—is seduced into fixing his team’s matches, only to find the law, and his guilty conscience, closing in on him when the scandal breaks out. In Hindi, English subtitles. 100 min. North American premiere.
Monday, April 23, 8:30 (introduced by Mitra); Saturday, April 28, 8:30. T1 |
