Dominique Aubier analyses Indian Cinema
"What are we living? What is Time trying to tell us?"
Nothing that is created by pretentious contemporary rationalism helps us to see reality accurately, much less the reality of our very own lives.
The answer is found in the lyrical and convincing 7th Art of Bombay. The genius found in Indian cinema actually brings an original look at the work of the mind, of being, of life. But is Western thought prepared to understand the stories told in contemporary Indian cinema? The cameras of the great Bolliyood filmmakers follow trains of thought not exactly like our own. We are somewhat surprised by their work since we do not necessarily have the tools needed to fully understand them.
To clarify these images – our own, those of our own existence – Dominique Aubier offers a study on Indian cinema…not that this industry is in need of help. Rather, she whispers some ideas into the public's ear so that we may better understand the meaning of these films.
For Dominique Aubier, “contemporary Indian cinema gives testimony to the great metaphysical lesson of Isaac Luria on the functioning of the mind, the universe and the civilizing cycle.” Also, Dominique Aubier studies the term "Tsmtsoum" - an idea that is illustrated in the film "Paheli". This is not the only example of the extraordinary correlation found and observed between the Kabbalah and Indian cinema. Beyond the fascinating visuals, Dominique Aubier presents an anthropology of film with the help of the tools found in the hebrew kabbalah. She unveils the images and thus provides us with an illuminating and luminous epistemology.

La Porte de l'Inde
Dominique Aubier
Forty-odd films stand out from the usual product of the Indian film industry, presenting in a highly imaginative manner an incredible treatise on how to reach eternal truth. A huge cosmic communication is launched: Dil to Pagal Hai, Ghulam and Yes, Boss are three films that transmit the symbolism behind the Hebrew letters of, respectively, Dalet, Ha and Beit. These works strive to render intelligible the symbolic concepts of the Hebrew alphabet !
In this book, Dominique Aubier demonstrates that Indian cinema has opened the door to the Great message of the Eternal: reality in action. Planetary consciousness is solicited because of its grand integrative capacity: divine truth shines through the simplicity of our perceptions by way of the medium of film. Which is why Aubier's new work is entitled "India Gate".
Mera Nam Joker by Raj Kapoor has been scrutinized, a witness to the power of Aleph as the beginning of this revelatory operation. The Guimel surfaces in two mimetic tales that form the basis of the films Chori Chori and Chori Chori Chupke Chupke. Two stories, whose narrative form would be disconcerting, dealt with by different artists, were they not responding to a Superior Guide… An über-director with thirty-five films under his belt along with two or three more which are the result of a single directorial effort over the decade between 1997 and 2007 during which he crafted an immense cinematographic dome - a majestic rainbow above the world, demonstrating the truth of the universal message in the Hebrew alphabet. If the mission of the 7th art is to enable us to see better what reality brings, Indian cinema has placed itself in the service of a Revelation that is made up of equal parts of the return of the Revelation from Mount Sinai and the messianic resurrection based on showcased exegesis.
Beyond the fascinating visuals, Dominique Aubier presents an anthropology of film with the help of the tools found in the hebrew kabbalah. She unveils the images and thus provides us with an illuminating epistemology. Dominique Aubier takes us behind the screen to meet this fabulous director who engraves in letters of gold the eternal truth of the Hebrew letters. This book is the second volume in the series La Haute Kabbale de l'Eternité (the High Kabbalah of Eternity).
