The post Fuchs Natalie – Kalachakra – L’éveil AKA Kalachakra: The Enlightenment (2017) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Description from Criterion site:
Satyajit Ray had not planned to make a sequel to Pather Panchali, but after the film’s international success, he decided to continue Apu’s narrative. Aparajito picks up where the first film leaves off, with Apu and his family having moved away from the country to live in the bustling holy city of Varanasi (then known as Benares). As Apu progresses from wide-eyed child to intellectually curious teenager, eventually studying in Kolkata, we witness his academic and moral education, as well as the growing complexity of his relationship with his mother. This tenderly expressive, often heart-wrenching film, which won three top prizes at the Venice Film Festival, including the Golden Lion, not only extends but also spiritually deepens the tale of Apu.

Two decades after its original negatives were burned in a fire, Satyajit Ray’s breathtaking milestone of world cinema rises from the ashes in a meticulously reconstructed new restoration. The Apu Trilogy brought India into the golden age of international art-house film, following one indelible character, a free-spirited child in rural Bengal who matures into an adolescent urban student and finally a sensitive man of the world. These delicate masterworks—Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road), Aparajito (The Unvanquished), and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu)—based on two books by Bibhutibhusan Banerjee, were shot over the course of five years, and each stands on its own as a tender, visually radiant journey. They are among the most achingly beautiful, richly humane movies ever made—essential works for any film lover.

The post Satyajit Ray – Aparajito (1956) (HD) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
Powal is a boatman in Nemuguri village that is situated on the bank of the river Dihing. Since there is no bridge at that point of the river, Powal’s job is assured. For some three generations his forefathers have been ferrying people to and fro. Life goes on smoothly until Powal begins to hear persistent reports about a bridge to be built across the river.

Review:
There’s nothing extraordinary about this film: no epiphanies, no dramatic twists, no self-conscious technology acting as an advertisement of itself, as is happening increasingly in Indian cinema.

But that precisely is the beauty of Jahnu Barua’s elegantly told and moving film about a third-generation boatman about to lose his source of livelihood because of a proposed bridge across the Dihing river.

Just as the river flows uninterrupted in this gloriously verdant part of Assam – the Kulchi hills – Hkhagoroloi Bohu Door (It’s a Long Way to the Sea) moves along imperceptibly, gently lapping against the shores of our sensibilities.

And only towards the end do you realise that the film is not about the old man and the sea, well, river – or even about the impending bridge and the inevitable change in the simple way of life of Nemuguri village that “development” will bring with it.

The film goes further than the tradition-or-modernity dilemma. Without being polemic, Barua’s film shows the dangers of development which do not take into account those who will be affected by it.

The director also makes a poignant statement about the irrevocable widening of the generation gap caused by materialism. Though rooted firmly in Assam, the film is quite universal in its appeal – it has been accepted as a competitive entry in the Chicago Film Festival and is likely to be shown at Cannes this summer as well.

The film makes a clear departure from Barua’s previous works like Aparoopa, Halodhia Choraye Baodhan Khai and Firingoti, which dealt with individual problems. Barua says that he wanted to make a more “generalised film”. Assam’s society is in a crisis. People with roots in the rural areas are really suffering. It is difficult for them to cope with the urban society which is caught up in materialism.”

Puwal, the boatman, played with restrained dignity by Bishnu Kharghoria, represents the innocent generation for whom the bell is tolling. His son, who lives in Guwahati, has, in the process of cutting the umbilical chord with his village and father, banished even the twinges of conscience in his race to get ahead. And the third generation is represented by Hkhuman, Puwal’s orphaned and gifted grandson, superbly played by Sushanta Barooah, who lost his parents to the river.

Barua beautifully depicts the relationship between the grandfather, who gradually becomes embittered and childlike, and his often petulant schoolboy grandson who attains a maturity far greater than his years.

In the end, child is the father of man – Barua’s placing his hopes for the future on Hkhuman. And he does so without falling into the trap of easy sentimentality.
