Her Venetian Name in Deserted Calcutta (French: Son nom de Venise dans Calcutta désert) is a 1976 French drama film directed by Marguerite Duras and starring Michael Lonsdale, Delphine Seyrig, Nicole Hiss, Marie-Pierre Thiebaut and Sylvie Nuytten. The film uses the same soundtrack of her 1975 film India Song, but is set to different images alongside an additional ending. It depicts the life of Anne-Marie Stretter, wife of the French ambassador to India circa 1930, who is also a main character in India Song. The film premiered at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors' Fortnight.
