Man of the story (kathapurushan) by the indian master adoor gopalakrishnan is a dramatisation of keralas history since the onset of the independence struggle.
a complex and challenging blend of traditional and modern story-telling styles that draws upon both folklore and recent indian history to present an elliptical story of keralas modern history through the life of one man - kunjunni - who is born in 1937 and lives to watch forty years of political upheavals in the southern indian state of kerala.
special features: new filmed interview with director adoor gopalakrishnan.
