Trishna (15)
The prolific Michael Winterbottom’s (Jude, A Might Heart, The Killer Inside Me) adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s classic tragedy Tess of the D’Urbervilles brilliantly transposes the action from 19th century Dorset to contemporary India.
A luminous Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) stars as Trishna, the daughter of an auto rickshaw driver who is swept off her feet by wealthy Jay (Riz Ahmed). Travelling from rural Rajasthan to cosmopolitan Mumbai, they fall in love; but soon Jay’s family are threatening their new-found bliss – and, this being Hardy, tragedy soon follows. India is a canny choice for Winterbottom, enabling him to exploit both the country’s vivid beauty; and the class divisions in its rapidly-changing society that so bedevil Trishna and Jay’s romance.
