ASU

 



ASU is the story about a young mother's struggle to choose between humanity and love and her selfless sacrifice, a moving story director Sanjeewa Pushpakumara brings to the Cinema with a strikingly minimalist approach. 

How ? Quite explicitly as a filmmaker with proven skills and such a penetrating eye for detail, Sanjeewa has found the key to his cinematic form in the paintings left behind by the young mother, Indira.  

Taking his creativity to extraordinary heights the director goes on to hang a series of beautifully painted, cinematically framed and juxtaposed, pictures in front of our eyes to tell the story, possibly in the same way young Indira would have told the world if she lived to paint her life story.

ASU is a beautiful cinematic creation not to be missed.
