Program Note
The director Asoka Handagama is well known for breaking taboos in style and content, ever since his career started in theater and television. One night, Asandhi calls a renowned film director who used to be her college mate. The director remembers her as a large and voluptuous woman. She confesses that she was involved in the homicide of three women, asking him to make her story into a film. Intrigued, the director tries to solve the puzzled and fragmented narrative. In the meantime, she is put into custody and awaiting her sentence. With his previous films invited to numerous international film festivals and garnering many awards, the director fulfills expectations with finely crafted camerawork. Although intense feelings and secret desires are a challenge to express in real life, they are often explosively depicted. Subsequently, it seems that the director’s message is that through the identity of Vicky, the man who stayed with Asandhi, and their relationship, much more can be revealed by following the emotional thread rather than attempting a logical analysis.
