An adaptation of Tagore's novel about a woman between her husband and a nationalist.
Sinekatalog’s take
Satyajit Ray's adaptation of Tagore follows a Bengali wife drawn between her liberal husband and a charismatic nationalist during the swadeshi movement. Rich in colour and ideas, it is a graceful, sad drama of love and politics.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
