Mythical Poetry : The Cinema of Govindan Aravindan

In Pokkuveyil (Twilight,1981), Aravindan further reflects upon the human condition in the modern society. It is a leisurely film with a characteristic slow pace that is musically structured. In Aravindan’s own words: “The film progresses in the musical structure of 1,2,3,4. 1,2,3,4…First, you see the house, then the homely Nisha, the sportsman, Joseph, who is a revolutionary and then again the house, the girl…the repetition of shots in that order. As the girl takes leave, this structure changes. The pace becomes faster. I thought this might help to bring out the life and movements of the protagonist Balu better.” Like in Uttarayanam (1974), Aravindan remains skeptical of society and its ways at large . The hallucinations of a young man as his connections with the world slowly disintegrate is juxtaposed with poetic long takes and pans. The name Pokkuveyil meaning twilight, also suggests the mood of the film, the film is marked by a certain sense of eventuality, entrapment that contrasts Uttarayanam which implies ascent (of the Sun). Pasolini once remarked about Antonioni that he identified his own delirious aesthetic vision with the vision of a neurotic woman. The same rings true for Aravindan and his protagonist Balu.
