With a career spanning three decades, Kannada director Girish Kasaravalli has long been recognised and respected as one of the foremost filmmakers of independent cinema in India. In Mysteries of the Mundane,John Hood presents an intensive discussion on Kasaravalli s work including his diploma film, feature films and two documentaries. Kannada literature, cultural traditions and a love for folk-theatre have shaped Kasaravalli s storytelling and influenced his visual style. His films are firmly rooted in themes specific and local to Karnataka; however, their touching exploration of the commonplace shows that within the local, specific culture lie values, struggles, dreams and aspirations that are truly universal. Across fifteen chapters, the author closely analyses and interprets Kasaravalli s films, examining their stories, plots, characterisation, visual language and aesthetics, and commenting on their socio-political symbolism and significance. He highlights Kasaravalli s ability to find deeper meaning in everyday life, which makes his films so inventive and exceptional, giving them a global appeal.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The trauma of Partition is an indelible part of the collective memory of the citizens of India and Pakistan and, later, Bangladesh. With over 15 million displaced and several million dead on both sides of the Radcliffe Line, this massive exodus remains forever a black mark in history. Partition and its aftermath have been central to much of subcontinental cinema, and found frequent and varied representation on screen. Tear-Drenched Earth looks at landmark films from the 1950s to the 2010s that depict aspects of the Partition, such as Gandhi, Chinnamul, Meghe Dhaka Tara, Viceroy's House, Tamas, Garm Hawa, Pinjar and Toba Tek Singh. Focusing on films that highlight the tragic absurdity of a historic catastrophe unprecedented in scale and devastation, and the unimaginable horror of its consequences, John W. Hood studies the ways in which it affected lives on both sides of the divide. He examines the ideas of nation, self, faith, identity, family, love, home and memory in the wake of Partition, and shows how religion and politics are inextricably linked and how they shaped Partition violence. He also reflects on how the newly-drawn borders of the newborn nations created and reinforced notions of the Other that fostered a blind lust for revenge and mindless violence which continued long after Partition, as witnessed in the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and the 2002 Godhra massacre. Poignant, insightful and compelling, this book will interest Indian film buffs and general readers as well as students of film studies, culture studies, Indian history and the Partition.…

The last three films/Ganashatru Shakha Prashakha and Agantuk. 11. Some final remarks. Filmography. Index. In this new work John W. Hood makes a thoroughly informed socio historical critique of all twenty nine feature films of Satyajit Ray. Structured along themes which the author has identified in Ray's movies this reassessment analyses each film independently on the basis of its individual merits and lapses carefully avoiding the popular hagiography that is common to much of Ray criticism. Having taken us through the two ends of the spectrum of excellence and mediocrity that comprise Ray's work Hood concludes his incisive study by affirming that What makes Ray ascend into the realms of the great is his profound sense of humanity. A highly accessible work on arguably the finest film maker India has ever produced this book will engage not only serious readers of cinematic texts but also be a valuable learning resource for students of film studies all over the world. 476 pp.…
