Cannes Bound

Yet,there will be some Indian presence at the festival,in the form of Rituparno Ghosh’s Shob Choritro Kalponik and Abohoman ,and Buddhadeb Dasgupta’s Janala. All three of them will be showcased at the marketing section of the festival. The Cannes Film Market or Marché du Film, is the largest film market in the world.

While Buddhadeb Dasgupta’s Janala narrates the story of Bimal and Meera and the trouble they face when and act of betrayal shatters their relationship, Rituparno Ghosh’s Abohoman is about a fifty-year oldfilmmaker,who falls in love with an actress as old as his son. The much-hyped Bipasha Basu starrer Shob Choritro Kalponik is about a young woman’s recollection of her marriage and her radical steps outside it.

Both these filmmakers are no strangers to Cannes having showcased their films in different categories at the festival earlier. Rituparno Ghosh’s Chokher Bali was screened at the festival and his Dosar was a part of the Les Cinema Du Monde (All the cinema of the world) section in 2007. Buddhadeb Dasgupta’s 1989 film Bagh Bahadur was rated as an outstanding film at the festival that year.
