The Image Threads (Chitrasutram)
Enfant terrible of Indian cinema Vipin Vijay's feature-film debut enchants, provokes and intrigues. This surrealist tale is a symphony of several parallel threads, a visual exploration of the virtual world revolving around an IT professor named Hari, whose philosophical contemplations are interchanged with online conversations with a mysterious, female-like cyber creature, the beautiful Ramani, who like goddess Tara struggles to deny the body to get more in touch with the spiritual. The third main character is Hari's black magician grandfather, who sporadically appears in his memories. Interweaving computer science, Indian mythology, numerology and personal symbolism, Vijay takes us on a contemplative journey. Exploring virtual reality and the conscious world, the film enables us to make our own wild interpretations of signs and signals and build a personal micromemory, yet preserves a genuine Indian sensitivity. The brilliantly conceived sound design sets the rhythm and helps decode the sometimes mystifying imagery. Rotterdam International Film Festival
