Monologue (Dir. Adoor Gopalakrishnan, 1987)

(Reviewed 4/5 in February 2016 on letterboxd.com)


Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Monologue challenges the conventions of the narrative film structure in that the story is not only non linear but also cannot be trusted. Staying true to its name, the film maintains the essence of a monologue which typically is a one sided point of view interrupted by varying flights of fancy. A style reminiscent of the literary works of Dostoevsky with a schizophrenic narrator.
