Bawa Karma - The Sorrow of Existence - Part II

1997 · 150 min

A continuation of “Bawa Duka”; via Peduru’s family, the narrative exposes the social stasis/class discrimination encouraged by the local Sinhalese Buddhist clergy, while the arrival of the Christian missionaries signals a more progressive mindset, though at the cost of conversion to a monotheistic faith. Tyranny is not only practiced by the British colonials but equally facilitated by local traditional institutions--thus, the resultant suffering (Duka) of Peduru is a combination of the two.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Bawa Karma - The Sorrow of Existence - Part II is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1997. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
