Cast: Jayaram, Lakshmi Gopalaswamy, KadambariDirection: Shaji N KarunGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours 30 minutes
Story: The film is an exploration of the emotional psyche of a percussion artist and his quest for love and art in life.
Swapaanam is a stretched out, hypnotic narrative that progresses with a person's artistic fulfilment and emotional anguish. It's about a percussionist who sways between a feverish quest for art and an aimless pursuit of love. While spreading out a maddening mosaic of love, passion, art and turbulence, Shaji N Karun wilfully administers a sedative languor to the film.
Unnikrishnan, played by Jayaram, has to deal with a mind that wobbles on the brink of delirium. He has long curls and restive fingers, his persona is a mirage that flits away into far realms irretrievably with every moment. He runs his fingers along the body of his partner like he taps on his percussion instrument. When he presses himself against his partner, his face is aglow not with searing desire, but with a contentment that plays on the face of an artist at the end of a masterful rendition.
Deep inside his strife-torn self, he is searching for his identity as he carries the stigma of being an illicit child. There is a woman who stirs him deeply with her expressions of art and passion. When implored, he pains her deeply so that she remembers him, he makes love to her so that she finds her own fulfilment.
