A still from I Want To Talk
I Want To Talk (IWTT) is an American film. For the setting, first, of course. That is, an idyllic smallish town (perhaps City of Hemet, in California). Wherein the middle-aged lead, Arjun Sen, resides. Living the so-called great American professional, consumerist, expatriate, suburban dream.
Sen, of course, is Bengali by origin. He’s the typical IIT-IIM high-potential, go-getter, who would’ve moved to the US, I’m guessing, around mid-to-late ’90s, or early 2000s—during the high-noon of high-income group, Y2K, young desi migration into America, as it were.
