Manto, directed by Nandita Das, is one of the most powerful films of recent times. It captures the life of Saadat Hasan Manto, a tormented poet and writer, as he navigates his thoughts on society, the trauma of Partition, and the growing communal tensions. Manto remains one of the most revered literary voices from South Asia, known for his piercing portrayals of society’s darkest corners.
This edit blends a still from the film with Vincent Van Gogh’s The Brothel Scene, reflecting Manto’s stories about women in the margins — prostitutes, survivors, and rebels.
Available in Polaroid and Postcard print.
