Plot.
The full soundtrack to Marguerite Duras' 1975 film India Song, about a French ambassador's wife in 1930s India, is here repurposed with all new cinematography. As we hear all the dialogue of a bygone movie, we travel visually through images of absence and decay, bereft of life. It's the ghost of a film, and a further commentary on colonialism.

Wiki.
Her Venetian Name in Deserted Calcutta (French: Son nom de Venise dans Calcutta désert) is a 1976 French drama film directed by Marguerite Duras and starring Michael Lonsdale, Delphine Seyrig, Nicole Hiss, Marie-Pierre Thiebaut and Sylvie Nuytten. The film uses the same soundtrack of her 1975 film India Song, but is set to different images alongside an additional ending.

The film premiered at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors' Fortnight.
