Indian Cinema
by
Dominique Aubier
What are we living? What is Time trying to tell us?
The answer is found in the lyrical and convincing 7th
Art of Bombay. The genius found in Indian cinema
actually brings an original look at the work of the
mind, of being, of life. But is Western thought
prepared to understand the stories told in
contemporary Indian cinema?
The cameras of the great Bolliyood filmmakers
follow trains of thought not exactly like our own. We
are somewhat surprised by their work since we do
not necessarily have the tools needed to fully
understand them.
To clarify these images – our own, those of our own
existence ! – Dominique Aubier offers a study on
the extraordinary correlation found and observed
between the Kabbalah and Indian cinema.
Filmmakers like Karan Johar will not be surprised !
Beyond the fascinating visuals, Dominique Aubier
presents an anthropology of film with the help of the
tools found in the hebrew kabbalah. She unveils the
images and thus provides us with an illuminating
and luminous epistemology.
