| | G. Aravindan
| |
| |
The late G. Aravindan films like Chidambaram (1985) and his last film Vasthuhara (Dispossessed, 1990) confirm his sensitivity as a filmmaker. The talent of this fimmaker is evident in the films listed below: -
Thampu (The Circus Tent, 1978): This film explores the complex and lonely lives of circus-players `with an almost documentary fidelity.
Kummaty (The Bogeyman, 1979): It deals with the legendary figure of a mysterious wizard who figures in children`s lore in Kerala. Aravindan presents this character and children`s reaction to him with poetic charm.
Esthappan (Stephen, 1980): Esthappan is set among Christian fishermen in Kerala and narrates the life of a wandering and mysterious spiritualist.
Pokkuveyil (Twilight, 1981): Pokkuveyil is about a young poet who, unable to withstand the hard realities of life, slips into a world of fantasy and hallucination. The film has very little dialogue and relies on a rich use of colour.
