I'm not even really sure most of this takes place in Calcutta but nonetheless this is among the most compelling examples of self-conscious Nouvelle Vague artiness that i've seen, up there with Resnais at his best not to mention Duras' own directorial work. Ultimately a minor accomplishment perhaps, but nonetheless severely underrated.
