Independent Indian film presented at NIFFF, Ennennum managed to take us with his writing qualities more than his more generic plastic. Refusing death to separate them, a couple decided to test revolutionary technology to safeguard human consciousness. With a rather classic synopsis, Shalini Ushadevi managed to transform the essay. Sci-fi is ultimately only a pretext for approaching the couple under the prism of possession by approaching the terriblely classical face of any relationship aimed at changing the other.

Interview with Shalini Usha Devi and Santhy Balachandran

Ennennum is a huis-clos that manages to highlight the relational flaws of a society that seeks to keep control. The film also manages to measure its humorous scenes with intelligence. With a very good duo of actors, this Indian film has rightly won the Award of Criticism. Ennennum proves that even with limited means, one can produce a very beautiful narrative by healing writing. We share our interview with Shalini Usha Devi and Santhy Balachandran at NIFFF to let you discover the behind the scenes of a film that had particularly touched us this summer. It is now hoped that he will have an outlet in France or on the platforms.
