Very good low budget film
I recently saw The Sadhu in a film class taught by Mark Morris and was impressed by the strength of the low budget piece. The film was crewed by mostly undergraduate students in a class to teach them how to work on a professional crew yet is very well lit, well photographed, and well acted in spite of the relative inexperience of the cast and crew.
The story deals with a man learning to accept the death of his wife and child as a part of the larger universal plan through the guidance of a Sadhu. In essence the Sadhu is a Hindu holy man who, through non-verbal communication, explains to the man the cycle of life and death and how it plays into the proper flow of universal harmony.
The most entertaining part of this film is by far the main character's best friend and co-worker played by a comedian local to the New Orleans scene. His quick wit and overall jovial appearance makes for a much needed comic relief to an otherwise heavy film.
I doubt if this film is in any sort of distribution but it is worth seeing if you can get your hands on it.
