Un + Une may take a while to get to you. Opening initially in Europe this December, it is likely to travel to North American theatres next. Even as the filmmakers are fixated on finding it screens in India despite it being in French, that will take it into a 2016 release. But it’s a lavish presentation, one that tries to simulate the chaotic backdrop of India, its visual vibgyor. “This movie was imagined for the cinema, to bring cinematic emotions, on a big screen, with the real India, and not postcards,” says Dujardin. “It shows a true India, with a story, emotions, feelings, where we have the time to settle down. It’s a cinema film. And that has become a rarity!” India provides the expansive canvas that houses the circus which allows the clown to express himself, even if quite volubly in this instance.
