Kala azar

About This Movie

Kala azar is a curious mix of drama and fantasy, exploring love in an unusual setting—a pet crematorium. The atmosphere is thick with the weight of loss and reverence, punctuated by the couple's unique bond as they navigate their work. The film captures that strange liminality between life and death, human and animal, which is both haunting and beautiful. Pacing feels deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with the characters’ emotional struggles. The performances are raw, lending authenticity to their relationship, especially as it begins to fray after an accident with a stray dog. It’s distinctive for its willingness to linger on uncomfortable themes and its almost poetic reflection on mortality. Definitely a film that hangs with you.
