Paruthiveeran
Aug 27, 2011
(Ameer Sultan India, 2007, 35mm, 162 min)
Paruthiveeran was the Official Selection at the Berlin Film Festival and a widely discussed film in India. Set against an arid village landscape on the outskirts of Madurai, this tortured love story has more in common with the escalating violence of Peckinpah’s border Westerns than typical pastoral films.
