Ritwik Ghatak (1925 - 1976), the maverick Bengali director, has been described by critic Jonathan Rosenbaum as ‘one of the most neglected major filmmakers in the world’. Set in Calcutta, his most famous film centres on a sensitive young woman who sacrifices herself to support her struggling family, refugees from East Bengal following the Partition of India. By contrast, her elder brother, a would-be singer, puts personal ambition before family duty. With striking imagery counterpointed by a richly imaginative soundtrack, Ghatak’s masterpiece is an undisputed classic of world cinema. Its searing depiction of the refugees’ plight is now more relevant than ever.
