There are films that entertain, films that educate, and then there are films that haunt you. Nidhanaya (The Treasure), the 1972 Sinhalese-language masterpiece directed by Lester James Peries, falls firmly into the latter category.

Willie finds his victim in Irene (Malini Fonseka, no relation), a sweet-natured, naive village girl who has just been released from a convent. He marries her under false pretenses, waiting for the astrological hour to strike. But as the date approaches, a horrifying thing happens: Willie falls in love with her.

Often cited by critics (including the late Roger Ebert) as one of the greatest films ever made, Nidhanaya remains a hidden gem for most of the world. If you have just stumbled upon the title and are searching for the full movie, you have embarked on a fascinating journey—not just to watch a film, but to uncover a ghost.
