The 1981 film from Indian director Adoor Gopalakrishnan, telling the tale of a feudal lord in Kerala.
Unni is the lazy, narcissistic head of his family which comprises himself and two siblings. Unable to adapt to the socio-economic changes taking place in early '80s India, he is an anachronism - lost in his own escapist fantasies.
An intricate character study of a man out of time, the film also paints a vivid picture the pressures of contemporary rural life in the country.
