An excellent adaptation, 22 December 2004
Author: filmbuff-74 from India

An excellent adaptation of the Tennesse William's play. The localisation as well as the modernalisation of the plot is commendable. It is rare to come across such detailing and technical finesse in a regional cinema of India. The performances are the best in the movie. Geetu playing the role of Rose( Laura as in the play) brings out the rare and delicate persona of the character. The Cinematography gives the movie it's special feel and nuances it well with the central theme of parting and memory. The faded blue of the paneled windows fluttering in the foreboding thunder is an image that would linger in my mind for a long time. All in in all very good effort by the director Shyamaprasad, whose earlier film was also as evocative as this one
