A short note on ‘Mani Kaul’
Within the confines of the “temporal medium”, Mani Kaul drifts closer to film poetry with striking vigour. A child of Bresson and Ghatak, we see Kaul’s ardent dedication to his internalised philosophy of treating cinema as a temporal medium, while the vitals of cinema (image and sound) organically evolve into a sensuous interplay between each other.
This month, we dive deeper into Mani Kaul’s unparalleled career in cinema.
