Atman

About This Movie

Atman (1997) captures this deeply personal pilgrimage through India. The film's documentary style, shot on 35mm, gives it a textured, almost tactile quality – you can almost feel the landscapes of India through the frame. Jamana Lal’s journey is not just physical; it’s steeped in spiritual significance, as he wrestles with grief and devotion. The pacing ebbs and flows, allowing moments of reflection amidst the hustle of his surroundings. There’s a rawness to the performances that really drives home the themes of loss and reverence. This isn’t just a travelogue; it's a meditation on mortality and faith, and how they intertwine in the rich tapestry of Indian culture.
