Movie review: Nothing is accidental in ‘Ship of Theseus’

Thirteen years after its release, Anand Gandhi’s philosophical drama continues to carry unsettling questions.

Jean Renoir once said that a filmmaker makes only one film in their life; they then break it into pieces and make it again. The same is true in Anand Gandhi’s case. Across projects like ‘Tumbbad’ and ‘MAYA’’, Gandhi has repeatedly explored questions of identity, morality and the human condition. Yet his cinematic peak arrived with his first writer-director feature, Ship of Theseus. The film turns 13 today.
