2h 7m
Directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan • 1987 • India
Starring Ashokan, Mammootty, Shobana
A haunting psychological puzzle that continues to fascinate and unsettle, MONOLOGUE is one of director Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s most experimental and enigmatic works. Through an audacious, two-part narrative structure, Gopalakrishnan evokes the fractured psyche of Ajayan (Ashokan), a brilliant but troubled man who narrates two conflicting accounts of his life—about growing up as an orphan, about his turbulent youth, and about his complicated experiences of love and desire—leaving it to viewers to decipher what is truth and what is delusion.
