		HEN Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s only daughter was a little girl, she would often exhort her filmmaker father to make 10 films.
		The strength of Adoor’s films lies primarily in the fact that they are deeply personal yet unfailingly universal chronicles of a complex society that has been in a state of flux for well over 60 years, a region forever in the throes of momentous social, political and economic change.
		Adoor was born in a family of Kathakali patrons and his growing up years were spent watching from close quarters the very best exponents of the classical dance form.

		ROWN kurta long white hair and bespectacled, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, one of India’s finest film-makers, is quiet, soft-spoken and unobtrusive as he weaves his way in and out of the crowd (like his films) during any film festival, that is if he is not surrounded by a host of admirers.
		Adoor obliged, again unobtrusively, but addressing it to the admirer whose son must have been too young to see Adoor’s Swayamvaram when it was released in the early 1970s.
		Not unexpectedly, Adoor is an admirer of Kalamandalam Gopi of whom the script says, "he has only to think of an emotion and it is there, all over him." Then they speak of his eyes, expressive as ever and his captivating stage presence.

		One of the leading lights of the New Indian Cinema, Adoor Gopalakrishnan was born in 1941.
		Adoor's protagonists are men and women who usually function outside the contexts of mainstream society, their lives governed by complex forces that are sometimes self-generated but more often beyond their comprehension or control.
		Adoor offers a more political reading of the outsider theme in Face to Face (Mukhamukham) where a stranger arrives one night in a small village and becomes the local hero by mobilizing the workers of a factory.

		ADoor gopalakrishnan’s movies, fl and white and barren, cold and claustrophobic, are sustained forays into the ever-tenebrous mind of the individual at odds with himself and the world.
		Often, the protagonist, even if he is a seemingly ideologically rooted political leader as in the case of Sreedharan in Mukhamukham, is not equipped to understand the nature of the incompleteness of his being, the shifting chiaroscuro play of his mind in relation to himself and to society at large.
		Adoor has systematically fought the technicolor ground cluttered with tinsel-trees and boats shaped like swans, and pitched a bare tent for himself.

		On seeing this film, a viewer and critic like me was reminded that Adoor Gopalakrishnan was best suited to make such a film with his intense and deep knowledge and insight into this art form ably supported by his technical expertise.
		Adoor must have wanted to present him as he was, not even changing his tone or mode of talking.
		Adoor is to be specially appreciated for not being intrusive or violating the sacred space of an evolved art form such as Kathakali.

		It is one that Gopalakrishnan, no, Adoor created after a painstaking study of films at the National Film Institute of India.
		Adoor was recently in Dubai to attend the screening of his recent film, Nizhalkkuthu, as the inaugural film of the International Malayalam Film Festival organised by the International Malayali magazine.
		In many ways, the film encloses a microcosm of Adoor’s later works especially in the disillusionment of the hero with the ideology he believes in.
