Twilight (1982, G. Aravindan)

A poignant story of urban life showing a young artist living with his father, a radical friend and a musicloving young woman. The father dies, the radical has to flee and the woman is taken by her family to another city. The boys world collapses: he becomes prey to hallucinations and ends up in an asylum where he is visited by his mother. The film, mostly told in flashback, betrays the naturemystic Aravindans distrust of urban living. Told mostly through Shaji N. Karun s ravishing, twilight shot imagery this film is a meditation on the liminal zone between sanity and insanity.
