I
saw 'The Voyeurs' at the Toronto Film Festival, along with Adoor's
masterly and stunning 'Four Women' and Rituparno's well-crafted though
much lesser (than Adoor) 'The Last Lear'. And oh dear - what is one to
say to Buddhadeb da's new enterprise but 'alas!' To wit, the movie is a
brilliant idea: we are all voyeurs, says the Director, from the ordinary
computer-savvy individual to the media-driven State whose institutional
apparatuses of 'watching' entrap us all. The movie's ambitious sweep
wants to connect billboards, tabloidism, systems of surveillance - from
the rich Marwari who wants to catch his cheating wife to the movie's
protagonists who wish to watch the object of their affections
surreptitiously, using a spy-cam, to the Big Bad State which keeps us
all in surveillance in our terrorism-ridden times, with cameras at
railway stations and hospitals and whatnot. So while you can run, you
can't hide - as these 'images' - naked or otherwise - jump out of their
billboards or TV's or computers or where ever else they might be, and
join you in your pesky business of living. Brilliant idea! And the job
of a film-maker is to make these connections, and that is where the
movie totally loses its cache. The acting is under-par, the pacing
difficult, and generally, the film gains nothing from its visual
dimension (unlike the visual delight that 'Four Women' is). The movie
attempts too much and delivers too little: the lead actors are
unimpressive, the surreal elements appear contrived and strained, and
the film tries too hard to be a film-festival-film. Not a single frame
is memorable, not one bit of dialogue comes away with you, and there is
no character with whom you can empathize. This is sad, given how
immensely talented Dasgupta is, but the movie is a ragbag of ideas
poorly executed, and from Buddhadeb da, this is a terrible let-down.
