Audiard's Dheepan no Match for Rust & Bone


Indian actress Kalieaswari Srinivasan seduces Dheepan
A Sri Lanka Liberation Tamil Tiger Warrier, Dheepan (Antonythasan Jesuthasan) teams up with phoney wife, Yalini (Kalieaswari Srinivasan) and phoney daughter, Illayaal (Claudine Vinasithamby) to acquire dead family's passports and head for France.  In fact, he did arrive in France with fake passport in 1993.  That was after trip to Thailand, where he was jailed with no papers.  And after he flew to Czechoslovakia with fake Malaysian passport but was deported to Bangkok. 

This film is set at conclusion of Civil War (1983 - 2009) between majority Sinhalese and minority Tamils, in which SL Military defeated Tamil Tigers after 26 years.

Dheepan was a firmer Tamil Tiger soldier.  He burns his Tamil Tiger uniform at start of film.  They end up in housing project in Le Pre-Saint Gervais, NE suburb of Paris.  The new home turns out to be new conflict for him.
