520 | |a Though veteran director Dharmasena Pathiraja was noted for his leftist leanings, he said that the Marxists were "out of touch with the realties of the people, their material conditions, power, and even their powerlessness." In his 1981 drama, Soldadu Unnahe, Pathiraja depicts the realities of four friends, a soldier, a prostitute, a pimp and an alcoholic who take refuge under a Nuga tree from the loud, warlike celebration of Sri Lankan independence. The fireworks and planes overhead give the soldier of the title flashbacks, reminding him of his experiences in World War II at the end of the British Raj. What have these four unfortunates gained from independence, and what is their future? Chosen the best film of the decade 1980-1990 by the Catholic International Cinema Organization. Awards/Festivals: Sri Lankan Presidential Awards for Best Film and Best Director; Eighth Indian International Film Festival; 16th Singapore International Film Festival 2003; Jeonju International Film Festival 2009 | ||
