Berlin’s ‘In the Belly of a Tiger’ Puts World Cinema Icons in Service of Indian Village Tale, Drops Trailer (EXCLUSIVE)
Berlin’s ‘In the Belly of a Tiger’ employs world cinema icons in service of an Indian village tale that is part love story, part surreal horror.
Pitched as a blend of surreal horror and selfless love, the film is a fictionalization of reportedly real events in rural India, in which a couple arranges to be eaten by a tiger in order to ensure their family’s financial security. The multi-national production crew includes music composed by Japan’s Umebayashi Shigeru(The Grandmaster,” “In the Mood for Love”), sound design by multi-Oscar-winner Resul Pookutty(“Slumdog Millionaire”) and color grading at the mainland Chinese studio owned and operated by leading fantasy and action director Wuershan (“Creation of the Gods I – Kingdom of Storms”). “Speaking to the soul of India, my film uses Indian mythology as a signal of hope to tell a deeply personal love story designed to put these invisible lives at the center of human consciousness,” Siddhartha said.
