FROZEN
India/2007/Hindi, Ladakhi dialogue with English subtitles/B&W/35mm/110 mins
In remote, snow-lined Ladakh, Karma (Danny Denzongpa), an apricot jam-maker, lives with his imaginative and impulsive teenage daughter, Lasya (Gauri), and her younger brother, Chomo (Angchuk). The three live a sparse, close-knit family existence in a deserted hamlet hemmed in by harsh, barren land and snow-capped Himalayan mountains. One day the Indian army arrives, basing their camp just hundred yards away from Karma’s home, and the family’s daily life becomes one of ceaseless, irreversible conflict.
“Shivajee Chandrabhushan’s debut feature (winner of the Special Jury Award at the Osians Cinefan Film Festival, Delhi) is a starkly beautiful black-and-white film, based on his own story, made in Hindi and the little-known Ladakhi language. Seasoned action hero Danny Denzongpa excels as the gentle family patriarch, alongside a host of confident and convincing newcomers.” – Uma da Cunha
