THE BlG ClTY (Mahanagar), set in mid-1950s CaIcutta and directed by the great Satyajit Ray (The Music Room), foIlows the personal triumphs and frustrations of Arati (Madhabi Mukherjee), who decides, despite the initiaI protests of her bank-cIerk husband, to take a job to help support their family. With remarkable sensitivity and attention to the detaiIs of everyday working-class Iife, Ray gradually builds a powerful human drama that is at once a hopefuI moraIity tale and a commentary on the identity of the contemporary Indian woman. |
