I once interviewed famous Chilean director Miguel Littín during the International Film Festival of India in Trivandrum, way back in 1997. Littín had a jam-packed retrospective of his films. Along with all the questions about his work, I asked him what appealed to him the most about India. "Oh, that would be the Indian saree," he exclaimed, describing it as "pure poetry. The women look so beautiful in it. It goes round and round, revealing as much as it conceals."
