Mathilukal
Adoor Gopalakrishan, the internationally celebrated film maker from Kerala, has done it again. This time"it is Mathilukal (Walls) which is all set to make waves with its haunting frames and dialogues.
At one level, the film about an imprisoned writer and his obsession with a female prisoner across the tall prison wall is almost lyrical and simple, and on the other disturbing and complex.

Like Kodiyettam (The Ascent), Mukhamukham (Face to Face), Elippathayam(Rat Trap) and Anantaram (Monologue), Mathilukal also deals with the intricacies of the human mind caught in the pincer of painful reality. But with Mathilukal for the first time, he has adapted a novelette of the same name by Vaikom Muhammed Basheer, 82, a celebrated writer.

Basheer wrote the book in the early '40s while imprisoned at Trivandrum Central jail by the British for sedition. Adoor read it around 30 years ago and remembers being enthralled.

Recently, he read it all over again and found that it had not lost its appeal. Says he: "What interested me was a probe into the writer's mind and not just a romantic episode in the story. By studying Basheer, the script evolved."

Before writing the script Adoor read all the available works of Basheer which were autobiographical in character and took a year to write the script.



Adoor on location: New heights
He wanted his protagonist to think - not look - like the writer. The other challenge was breathing life into the character of Narayani, a female prisoner who is only heard - never seen - from across the wall. But so complete is Adoor's mastery of the craft, that a mere voice brings across the complex, highly strung character of Narayani.

Mammootty, the number one star of Malayalam films, who plays Basheer, comes up with his best performance ever. This is the kind of role he was searching for ever since he played a smaller part in Adoor's Anantaram.
It is obvious that like his director, Mammootty had done his homework. Basheer comes across as an intense and committed individual, cherishing the small pleasures of life and living through harsh reality with mixed feelings.

Basheer believes he has been unfairly confined for writing about freedom and oppression by the British. Despite all the light hearted banter, he is sliding into a world of his own. His body is incarcerated by prison walls 20 ft tall, but his mind and spirit soar above it.

Suddenly, Basheer's life takes a dramatic turn. He hears a sensuous female voice from the women's ward across the wall. What starts as a mild flirtation becomes an intense relationship, though neither has seen the other. It gives Basheer's life a new meaning, a new direction.
