Gangacharan is the new Brahmin of a village, where he assumes various duties: teaching, organizing religious events, and trying to prevent epidemics. But in that year 1943, war is raging (as reminded by the planes occasionally heard flying over the countryside), and a major famine is under way. As food shortages reach catastrophic proportions, Gangacharan attempts to preserve his privileged situation, while his generous wife, Ananga, conversely tries to help and support the community.

By any realistic standard, this is a magnificent film. For a Satyajit Ray film however, it's obvious that something is missing. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Doesn't feel like a Ray film to me.

A look at the devastating Bengal famine of 1943, and its effects on one village, and one privileged couple in particular. I believe this is Satyajit Ray's first color film, and it's one of the better ones. The photography is quite good. This isn't among Ray's very best work (nor Soumitra Chatterjee's) but it's definitely worth watching, although (naturally) very depressing.

Em honra do centenário de Satyajit ray filme #3. Mesmo tendo ponto de vista de uma classe privilegiada como a dos brâmanes, a fome de 1943 na Índia afetou de forma horizontal a todos, fome esta oriunda de desmando atroz de Churchil que como bom colonizador matou 5 milhões de indianos (disso os defensores do capitalismo não lembram, né? tsc tsc). É um retrato muito importante sobre um assunto que pouco se fala no ocidente trazido com a usual maestria e sensibilidade por Ray. WEBRip MKO.
