His first film, one of the key films of the Indian New Wave.
Sinekatalog’s take
Mani Kaul's first film follows a bus driver's wife who waits by the road each day with his lunch, in spare, severe and rhythmic images. Daring and radical, it is a key film of the Indian New Wave and its anti-narrative cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
