191. Meghe Dhaka Tara (1960)


Country: India
Directed by Ritwik Ghatak

I never liked much the melodramas and the stories of people who sacrifice themselves for their loved ones, a very common pattern of movie plot in most cinematographies of countries with strong family ties and relations. However, this film of Ritwik Ghatak elevates this story in a much higher lever. The film is so beautiful, so bittersweet emotional, so captivative, so fine on details that you end up spellbound from the experience of watching it. It is not a perfect film without weak sides but once more is obviously a work of a genious, a definition of how cinema should be
