The luminance of KIFF
This is when we came out of Rabindra Sadan (an auditorium that screens festival films) mute, blown away by Vittorio de Sica’s Umberto D, the haltingly affecting Tokyo Story by Yasujirō Ozu, Zhang Yimou’s pensive rendition of pathos in Coming Home, the ultra-wide frames of Eduardo Nunes’s Sudoste, or Kim Ki Duk’s powerful anti-narrative Time.
