: Anura's unfaithful wife, who experiences her own existential boredom. Soma (Kaushalya Fernando)
In the pantheon of world cinema, few debuts arrive with the audacious stillness of Vimukthi Jayasundara’s Sulanga Enu Pinisa ( The Forsaken Land ). Winner of the prestigious Caméra d’Or at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, the film is not a conventional narrative about the Sri Lankan Civil War (1983–2009). Instead, it is a geological and spiritual autopsy of a place where time has collapsed under the weight of prolonged violence. Sulanga Enu Pinisa aka The forsaken land -2005-
