简介：The film starts with a note: „This film is culled from interviews and dreams of pickpockets, street vendors, small scale factory workers, daily wage earners, domestic workers, loaders, rickshaw pullers and many others labouring in the city of Shahjahanabad, Old Delhi,” which seems the gate to a classic documentary. Way so far of what we will find if we dare to enter: an unusual, inspiring, funny, audacious, creative and surprisingly engaging portray of Old Delhi. Debutant Anamika Haksar sails among fiction, interviews, documentary chapters, street performances and amusing screwball moments, jumping from real life to character’s dreams, in a playful summit of folklore, evolving sound, special effects interventions, oneiric fantasies, dances and native songs with a bizarre and smartly broken-beat editing which keeps you stuck to the screen. Yes, all that: A chant to Old Delhi making the most of the cinematic sources. The director reveals himself as a Delhi lover who narrates in images and sounds the heart and soul of the city and achieves to extend his affection to viewers. Following the path of its odd and colourful characters, changing space and structure which each unfolding event, you will feel seduced by an unexpected discovery. Javier Garcia Puerto
