A film by Deepa Mehta
Four years after production was shut down in India, filming resumed in Sri Lanka. The movie was shot under the fake title "Full Moon" to avoid attention.

I watched this film recently, when it was screened at Savoy. Reminded me of my Knigt in his white shinning armour:). But if you want to experience the true creativity in Sinhala films you should watch 'bithusithuwam'. Though it doesn't have the presence of tall Indian actor John Abraham; this film tells of a villager who goes to the city to make a living, who gets carried away there and becomes a playboy, while his girl friend back at home marries someone else after recovering from the serious heart break and he comes back a beggar to her house and relates his story to her now full grown daughter over a glass of clean water. A bit like the prodigal son found in the Christian Bible. The interesting bit is where his girl friend back in the City agrees to sleep with the master to make a living for them after he develops a limp from an accident. Very interesting stuff, way better than the traditional bithusithuwam found in the historical rock of sigiriya :)...
