Charulata
Directed by Satyajit Ray, 1964
Satyajit Ray’s exquisite story of a woman’s artistic and romantic yearning takes place in 1870s 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.Directed by Satyajit Ray, 1964
