Film Title

Pratidwandi (The Adversary, Siddhartha and the City), 1970, India, Bengali

Scene Description The younger cousin Tunu is a more resolute believer in 'The Revolution' than his older brother and has the underpinnings of being a militant political activist. A suspect Naxalite, Tunu is uncaring and subtly reprimands his brother for becoming complaint with the system since he started paddling through the depressingly grim of unemployment. It was Siddhartha who once gifted him Argentine Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara's book and since then, the man has changed by miles. Perhaps disillusioned and caught up with the scuplues of struggling with a middle-class existence has somewhat smoothened his rough edges. But once in a while, in his visions, Siddhartha becomes the coveted dissident figure whose face converges with Guevara's. (11/27)
