Ritwik Ghatak tues 13 Nov 2007

You are invited to view a film by Ritwik Ghatak - Nagarik 1953

6pm - Cinema Goldsmiths - all welcome.

Part of the Centre for Cultural Studies series on Bengali Cinema.

Nagarik was only released after Ritwik's death, it deals with varous small personal trials - job search, marriage negotiatons, bustee-life - in the context of the trauma of partition and the plight of refugees. Not without melodrama, but also with optimism. The film predates Ray's 'Pather Panchali' and might be said to be superior in both in sensibility and politics. No apreciation of Bangali cinema is complete without this (almost lost) film noir classic.
