Sexy Durga Trailer (2017)

Trailer for Sexy Durga.

An Indian woman (Durga) and man (Kabeer) are on the run, eager to catch a train out of Kerala. Two men offer them a ride to the train station, but what initially appears to be an act of kindness quickly turns nasty. Over the course of this long night, Durga will encounter a cross-section of male society, with little comfort on offer.

Sasidharan juxtaposes this menacing tale with footage of a ritual involving the piercing of the skin and walking on hot coals, in devotion to Kali, a manifestation of the Goddess Durga. Sexy Durga is a powerful, chilling film that recalls the work of Michael Haneke in its claustrophobic air of menace.
