Calcutta

This documentary by famed French director Louis Malle explores the extremity and vibrancy of Calcutta through video clips of its people, art and ceremonies, with limited narration. From the wealthy to the poverty-stricken, from the healthy to the lepers, from slums to palaces and everything in between, no corner of the city is left unexplored. This film provides a canvas on which the brilliant diversity of this city of eight million is expressed in rich color and depth.
