Introduction

Introduction for The Prisoner (2008) is being prepared.
Desai, Mrinal (Cinematographer), The Prisoner, 2008 | Photographic Still | CinemaEducation | 00888971

Body of Work

Just released from prison, Siddharth Roy, a once-famous writer, completes a new manuscript. He re-engages with the outside world, hoping that the new book will restore his reputation and reconcile him with his estranged wife, Maya. However, fate has other plans for Roy when his briefcase gets exchanged at a cyber café with a similar briefcase containing a large sum of money. Roy loses the only copy of his manuscript while Mohan, the cyber café manager, comes under pressure from his bosses to recover the lost money. Based on the ancient text of the Rig Veda, the film explores the theme of human desire and suffering, building towards a shocking conclusion on the nature of 'ultimate freedom'.
