The Inner Strength

About This Movie

The Inner Strength is a fascinating deep dive into the life of SM Sultan, a significant figure in Bangladeshi art. Tareque Masud’s first venture into filmmaking feels raw and personal, capturing Sultan’s essence through a lens that balances admiration with authenticity. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative at times, allowing viewers to truly absorb Sultan's philosophy and struggles as an artist. Masud took seven years to complete this documentary, and you can sense that commitment in every frame. The atmosphere is filled with the vibrant colors of Sultan's paintings, and there's a palpable tension between the artist's inner world and the socio-political backdrop of Bangladesh. It's not just about art; it's a glimpse into the soul of a nation through an artist’s eyes.
