Trishna is directed by Michael Winterbottom, the man behind films such as Wonderland and Welcome to Sarajevo. It is a film shot compeltely in India and tries to capture the flavour of the country through the pivotal characters. The film stars Freida Pinto and Riz Ahmed.
The screenplay is adapted from the Thomas Hardy novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles. He has adapted the novel quite well, in fact, and has taken many strides in putting his own stamp on the proceedings and planting his flag in the production.
Trishna takes us along the journey of this small town girl (Freida Pinto) who lives in Rajasthan. She meets a wealthy British businessman (Riz Ahmed) and they end up falling in love. The film then explores rural and urban diversities and gaps along with the societal pressure faced by the lovers. The story also explores the inner-battle faced by the titular character as she grapples with the never ending conflict of ambition versus tradition in her life.
Freida Pinto does a good job in Trishna. The actress who gained worldwide fame after her role in Slumdog Millionaire has once again proven that she does have talent and is not going anywhere in a hurry. She has taken a good character and taken it to a whole new level. The role is really owned by her and you really enjoy the process and her journey throughout and even though it is a heavily foretold dramatic tragedy it is still uplifting and enjoyable.

Riz Ahmed has acted in films such as The Road to Guantanamo and Shifty, etc. He is a talented actor with a flourishing career. Sure, his roles are somewhat limited but still he does show off his talents. He also has a sprawling musical career but that’s beside the point. He has acted quite well in this film. He really brings out the shades of emotions well in this one. His character has a lot of meat and doesn’t really
take full advantage of it but he pulls it off well enough for it to count.
The director Michael Winterbottom is clearly a film festival and critics delight. He has had a previous meeting with India while shooting for his film Code 46. For that he shot in Rajasthan and now, once again he returns there to shoot Trishna. He has made this film with a soft touch of a master and governed the proceedings with a certain gentility. His take on the classic Thomas hardy novel is well, novel, and well received. He certainly is, no doubt, a director with a vision and it is that vision that has been translated onto the screen time and time again as well as this time. His energetic and vibrant take on the bustling cities of India is not exactly groundbreaking but it’s treatment is charming and exciting in it’s own way. He certainly has a way with the camera and you really enjoy the work he puts on screen.
The cinematography by Marcel Zyskind is truly breathtaking and compliments the directors vision very well. The imagery and camera angels are very descriptive in tandem with themselves.
Trishna isn’t particularly a feel good film but the vibrancy and energetic nature of the film to make it upbeat and a pleasure to watch. Do give it a watch. It certainly is worth it.
