Blueprint of a Pleasure Machine

A brazenly metaphysical Indian movie mystery animated with elements taken from the lobby cards and posters Amit Dutta found in a museum's film paraphernalia collection. The images of stars strut and stumble through the photographs of sets, with a dense voiceover ruminating about past beauties and present shadows. What a masterpiece!
