The Search within - Unending and unrelenting

A review of a Bengali film by the venerable Goutam Ghosh, by Nilanjann N. Washington Bangla Radio exclusive.

Measured RGV Finale to the Blood-Bath!

Calcutta, Dec 3, 2010 (Washington Bangla Radio) I generally make it a point to see my favorite director's film on it's first day of release. I am a film buff since a mere boy of ten; traveling through typical Bollywood commercial hits and through most of the Hollywood releases too, I have traveled through some unforgettable films from the  Masters of World Cinema, namely Satyajit Ray, Buddhadeb Dasgupta, Mrinal Sen, Tapan Sinha, M.S.Sathyu, Ozu, Felini, Tarkovsky, Kazan, Jean L Godard (especially the 60's 'Alphaville' and 80's 'Detective'), Truffaut and Almodovar.

The directors listed above will always remain as my favorite directors of World Cinema and I try to catch them the very first day, or at least the first one to hire the DVD when its hitting the stores allover ...

Must watch this movie...Very Powerful!
