Sinekatalog’s take
Satyajit Ray's masterpiece follows a lonely Calcutta wife whose affection grows for her husband's cousin. Madhabi Mukherjee is luminous, and the film's delicate camera and Tagore source make it a perfect chamber drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
