Trishna

Trishna

Self-effacing British auteur Michael Winterbottom sets his unique spin on Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles against a contemporary Indian backdrop.

Freida Pinto stars as the titular Trishna, a young woman who is seduced by the wealthy son of a property developer.

As the romance develops, their relationship also becomes increasingly sordid and volatile. (Toronto Film Festival)
