Tasher Desh is an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore’s dance drama (though Q has described his film as “Tagore on an acid trip”) which does tend to mean that from a starting point the dramatic thrust of the film was broad and based on themes and ideas rather than dialogue. The film, which premiered at the Rome Film Festival, was shot in 25 days on the beaches of Sri Lanka and a series of ruins in Bengal.Tasher Desh 2012 Movie Download.
There is no denying that Q (real name Kaushik Mukherjee, who tends to prefer his actors to be credited first name only in credit blocks) has a sure visual sense, and shoots beautifully in both bold colour and atmospheric black-and-white. At times the staccato editing, split-screen shots and over-use of hand-held cameras tends to make watching Tasher Desh an uneven experience as if he is constantly trying to stitch together a series of stunning visuals rather than constructing a drama.
But there is no denying that some of those visuals – which would work as well as art installations – linger in the mind. The dialogue amounts as a series of pronouncements rather than anything that works in a real formal arc, and some of the scenes are overly edited, but the soundtrack is driving and exciting, the performances sound and – as with Gandu – the subtitling is bold and thoughtfully constructed.The film opens in black-and-white, following a storyteller (Joyraj Bhattacharjee) who wanders around Kolkata and asks if Land Of Cards has been staged recently. At an empty railway station at night-time he talks to trains and in his mind.Land of Cards.
