In this episode, we are thrilled to be watching and discussing a Bangladeshi favorite Third Person Singular Number made by Mostofa Sarwar Farooki - one of the most famous contemporary directors from Bangladesh.
We’ve also had the pleasure of having Raidah of raidahcal on this episode. She does wonderful work addressing contemporary feminist issues in Dhaka, Bangladesh. While we all had different takes on the movie, it was wonderful to have Raidah’s unique insights and perspectives.
The movie is centered around Ruba – shown to be struggling with harassment, housing insecurity, and unemployment in the aftermath of her partner’s conviction. Though starting off on a dark note, the movie is conceptualized as a fairytale and to some degree, even a romance.
Ruba is an independent and determined character. And the movie was remarkable in its use of the feminine gaze as well as modernist means of storytelling – employing devices such as an unreliable narrator and Freud-inspired depictions of internal psychological conflict.
