The Cloud Door

The Cloud door features pictorial beauty ,  slow-building sensuality and surprising humour that combine to rich effect.  A king overhears a parrot telling erotic stories to his daughter  , and is angered.  He desires to kill the parrot but the princess intervenes and saves the parrot's life.  The parrot escapes and is trapped far from the palace.   One day when it's new owner is sleeping, the bird convinces a young man to open the cage door. In return, it shows the young man a secret way to get into the palace.

One of the inspirations for the story for the movie is based on the work of noted Sanskrit scholar Bhasa and his six-act play 'Avimaraka' .  The Cloud Door is a technically sound product . Too many people are busy on making several interpretations about this film but it's a refreshing mystical little tale with stunning visuals, beautiful locales and great music.
