Dirty, Yellow, Darkness (2015)
An important subject made entertaining
4 April 2015 - 7 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
An important film that portrays the stigma and misconceptions around mental health and its treatment through a touching love story. Beautifully shot, well cast and directed, the film treats a dour topic with sensitivity and whimsy. The story, woven around a typical family from Colombo, Sri Lanka and shot on location at the primary mental health facility in the country, provides a glimpse into not just the perceptions and attitudes towards mental disorders but the trials and tribulations of its treatment. A brave undertaking by the Ariyawansa brothers to veer away from the tried and tested story lines to tell a deeply personal story. Masterfully shot by Jaan Shenberger.
