FILM
CLUB DISCUSSION GROUP |
|
| |
|
|
| Meets
for the screening and discussion of Ritwik Kumar Ghatak's
Meghe Dhake Tara' (1960, 122 mins). Arguably Ghatak's finest
work, Meghe Dhaka Tara is a dark melodrama set in late fifties Calcutta
about a refugee family. With its sparse script, audacious expressionist
soundtrack and a startling cinematic elegance, Meghe Dhaka Tara is
undoubtedly a modern masterpiece - infinitely compassionate and humane.
Film Scholar Madan Gopal Singh will introduce the
film and co-ordinate the discussion. |
