The Disciple
If you want to walk this path, learn to be lonely and hungry.
Directed by Chaitanya Tamhane
Produced by Zoo Entertainment
A meditative, introspective portrait of artistic obsession and spiritual longing, where the pursuit of mastery becomes an existential ordeal.
Self-doubt, sacrifice and struggle converge into an existential crisis for a devoted classical vocalist as the mastery he strives for remains elusive.
