CLOUD-CAPPED STAR, THE
(MEGHE DHAKA TARA)
[1465]

Stock Status: In Stock

$32.95

Director: Ritwik Ghatak
Label: BFI
Genre: Art House
Country: India
Year: 1960
 

 

A dark melodrama set in late Fifties Calcutta about a refugee family and the struggle of Nita, the oldest daughter, to keep them afloat and together. It is a bitter critique of the family as institution and also of the harsh social and economic conditions arising from Partition - the trauma that defined Ghatak as an artist.

With its sparse script, audacious expressionist soundtrack and a startling cinematic elegance, THE CLOUD-CAPPED STAR is undoubtedly a modern masterpiece - infinitely compassionate and humane while remaining resolutely unsentimental.
