A catchy film which draws crowds

Staff Correspondent
The film on Monirul Islam by the independent filmmaker AKM Zakaria, was so captivating, that the premier was repeated. Others busy with their tasks, such as doing workshop at Shilpakala Academy, or unable to see even the second "show", arranged for DVDS to watch at home. Going by the sea of viewers, who crammed even the second showing, the artist was certainly popular both at home and abroad. Murad Bhai (Manzar-e- Haseen) said that in the film, Monir was shown as when Zainul Abedin, once seeing his water-colour of banana trees, said that from nearby it looks like some abstraction, but when you go afar you comprehend the reality. The basic information is there, said Murad.
How did you like the film? Structurally, it has good sequences and passages, said Murad. It is a direct documen-taty. The film was shot at Chandpur, Monir's birthplace, and in Spain - in three places-in Madrid, where he stays, a city where his exhibition was on. It shows his life in Spain, said Murad, in the sense it is depicted
how he went to Spain, his endeavours, his life there as a rising artist: I Ie said that his domestic life was depicted, and also his relationship with other people. Murad said that Monir was very honest with his relationships. He was a very sociable man. He is always eager to mix with people, and exchange them in ideas and views. He likes to cook and chat with others. In a sense, he hates to be alone, said Murad. This brings in the temperament of the protagonist.
As the film is limited in time and this is a documentary, the
film-maker is not able to fantasize as in "Agony and Ecstasy" or something on Pablo Picasso or even Vincent Van Gogh. The film-maker was limited with reality. The film depicts Monir as staying in Spain for quite a long time, said Murad. He is a citizen of Spain and has his own footing in that country. How the two cultures mix in his idea as a painter and in his thinking, said the renowned film-maker.
Talking to the protagonist of the film, Monir, he said that for him it was very exciting Zakaria, according to Monir is a very good journalist. He went to Monir's house twice and the various places where he worked. Monir combined with Zakaria to depict his work and home-life, he said. He rolled is film for 90 hours and made the film for a little over thirty minutes, said Monir, which was not easy. The filmmaker has combined my artistic life with my psychology and philosophy. Monir is in Spain for 43 years. What he learns in Spain, he comes back to his own country, to spread the knowledge. When he went there was no internet, he reminds us. Two young camera men from Spain took the second part of the film. It is a coloured film, and Zakaria shot some films on the house of Goya, where I have a workshop every year, said the artist nonpareil.
His posture, food habits, liking, all are reflected in the film, said the well-known art critique Moinuddin Khalid. The combination of the culture of Spain and Bangladesh has made a lyrical creation, the combination of Monir's water colour and his prints are without fail, superb. They are worth the preservation that the film provides, he ended.
