India Song is a 1975 French drama film written and directed by Marguerite Duras. Starring Delphine Seyrig, Michael Lonsdale, Mathieu Carrière, Claude Mann, Vernon Dobtcheff, Didier Flamand, and Claude Juan. Set in 1930s Calcutta during the monsoon season, the story revolves around Anne-Marie Stretter (Seyrig), the enigmatic and disillusioned wife of the French ambassador to India. Though the narrative is set in India, the film was primarily shot on location at the Château Rothschild in France.
India Song was selected as the French entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 48th Academy Awards but did not receive a nomination. A sequel, Her Venetian Name in Deserted Calcutta, was released in 1976.
