The Cannes Film Festival offers a showcase for bold, innovative films through its Un Certain Regard selection. Konstantin Bojanov's The Shameless, a poignant Indian drama, finds its place in this year's selection.
In The Shameless, Rani, an Indian prostitute, announces to her family her departure on a pilgrimage to a remote temple. This introspective journey brings her face to face with her tumultuous past, including her youthful love affair with Renuka, now serving a life sentence for murder in Bangalore, a stopover on Rani's journey.
Konstantin Bojanov, a director who sensitively explores the stories of marginalized characters, has created a touching drama with The Shameless. The film stars Omara, Anasuya Sengupta and Mita Vashisht, Indian actresses renowned for their roles in auteur films.
Thierry Frémaux emphasized:"The Shameless is a film which, as the name of its director Konstantin Bojanov does not indicate, is an Indian film, or in any case a film set in India, andIndia is a great country for cinema in general, but also a great country for contemporary cinema, and you will see thatIndia is making a strong comeback in this selection.
