    Content: "Die Teilung Bengalens im Jahr 1948 bildet den Hintergrund des Films "Subarnarekha" von Ritwik Ghatak. Millionen von Menschen haben damals durch die Flucht ihren Halt verloren, Familien sind auseinander gebrochen, der Verzweiflung der Erwachsenen steht die von Schuld und Korruption noch unversehrte Sehnsucht der Kinder gegenüber. Dem Filmemacher Ghatak gelingt es, seinen dichterischen Visionen eine universelle Dimension zu geben: Die Vertriebenen verschmelzen mit all jenen Flüchtlingen, die damals und heute vor dem Leben zurückwichen. Gleichzeitig erinnern Tagores Lieder daran, den Glauben an den Menschen nie zu verlieren. Während 1965 die Jugend den Film förmlich verschlang, liess die Filmindustrie Ghatak fallen; er konnte elf Jahre keinen Film mehr drehen." [trigon-film.org/de]

    Content: "Satyajit Ray's exquisite story of a woman's artistic and romantic yearning takes place in late nineteenth-century, pre-independence India, in the gracious home of a liberal-minded, workaholic newspaper editor and his lonely wife, Charulata (Madhabi Mukherjee). When her husband/s poet cousin (Soumitra Chatterjee) comes to stay with them, Charulata finds herself both creatively inspired and dangerously drawn to him. Based on a novella by the great Rabindranath Tagore, Charulata is a work of subtle textures, a delicate tale of a marriage in jeopardy and a woman taking the first steps toward establishing her own voice."
