Sunrise': Busan Review
by The Daily Eye Team October 9 2014, 2:04 pm Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 44 secs‘Let the Wind Blow’ director Partho Sen-Gupta returns with a timely story revolving around child abduction anchored by a standout performance from Adil Hussain At the beginning of Sunrise, we are told that over 60,000 children go missing in India every year, and it is the country’s well-documented struggle with violence against women and children that is at the heart of Partho Sen-Gupta’s latest, a surreal and haunting procedural. Challenging and richly realized, the drama about a cop wrestling with guilt over his young daughter’s disappearance effortlessly and effectively weaves together fantasy and reality, melding the tension of cop thrillers with the introspection of a psychological drama. Sen-Gupta masterfully exploits sight and sound in a mature exploration of escalating mental anguish that should see a long, healthy festival life and could find outlets in urban art houses.
