The Movie Mystic Masseur in context of society of author Sir VS Naipaul's birth
22 February 2015
Cold-blooded collateral

Nothing unusual means everything usual.

That's a line from a long-time short story, "The Night Watchman's Occurrence Book" by VS Naipaul which the scriptwriter of The Mystic Masseur – the movie – has not yet .... the cineplex is now showing The Mystic Masseur, which is promotionally pitched as "a time and a place for magic and miracles."

The movie, like the novel, is set in Trinidad. Need I say more on how misleading then that promotional line is?

Nothing in the book, nor even the Caryl Phillips-scripted Merchant Ivory production remotely shows more....
