| Summary, etc |
"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."-- |
