Quote:
"India is coded by the film [Bye Bye Blues] as the colonial experience immersed in sexuality and sensuality (beautiful, enigmatic Indian men and women, kindly native servants, love-making on silk sheets with drifting white mosquito nets, and so on); Canada, on the other hand, is the land of denial where the reality principle reigns (the infinite flatness of the prairies, autumnal colours, sexual frustration and rural morality)."
