      [introduction]
      The newest film by Vimukthi JAYASUNDARA, whose “Between Two Worlds” (09) was screened at Tokyo FILMeX, “Dark in the White Light” is an enigmatic film interweaving multiple unconnected stories. A young, Buddhist monk attempting to seek spiritual truth; a student aspiring to be a doctor to help people who does something extreme; a man who deals in the organ trade on the streets of Colombo; and a middle-aged surgeon whose routine is to treat people by day and sexually assault women at night; the specific connection of these stories is difficult to ascertain and is left to the audience to interpret. One thing that can be said, though, is it may be a reflection of JAYASUNDARA’s inquiry into life and death within modern society.
