The Outhouse is a 1997 Indian English-language family drama film directed by Leslie Carvalho and starring Priscilla Corner and Ratan Thakore Grant.[1] In 1998, the film competed in the International Film Festival of India and won the first Gollapudi Srinivas Award.[2] [3] [4]
The film marked the directorial debut of Carvalho, who did a course at the New York Film Academy.[5] The film was shot in thirteen days.[6]
A critic from The Hindu wrote that "'The Outhouse' is an example of what intelligent cinema ought to be. The note of authenticity, the sensitive handling of a theme as delicate as marital violence and the extraordinary eye for detail (which one saw so easily in Satyajit Ray’s work) place "The Outhouse" in a class by itself".[7] A critic from Deccan Herald opined that "The Outhouse`s accomplishment lies in its complex character portrayal of its heroine, Priscilla, and its finely observed details of the everyday, the commonplace, that other movies usually take for granted".[8]
