Days and Nights in the Forest. (NC) Soumitra Chatterjee, Subhendu Chatterjee, Samit Bhanja. Dir: Satyajit Ray. Ind, 115min.
One of Satyajit Ray's greatest and most personal films that invokes his love for the humanism of Jean Renoir without sacrificing his quintessential understanding of the Indian sub-continent, it's landscape and people.
Four brash young men from the city take a break in the forests of Palamau and each of them has a romantic, sobering, comic or profounder experience pursing the local feminine talent. A film as fresh as the day it was made 32 years ago.
