289. A river called Titas (1973)

Country: India/Bangladesh Directed by Ritwik Ghatak A film with major weaknesses regarding the plot, the rythm, the consistency of aesthetics, the acting etc, A river called Titas seems disoriented and disappointing at times, without real balance and gravity. A genius as Ghatak though, even if he is unable this time to wrap everything up successfully, couldnt let us with a mediocre film. Still give us many intense unforgetable moments, a rich cultural, historical and social canvas to think about and a haunting, visually stunning photography, "a breathtaking black and white" as some critic wrote that deserves a big screen to be fully appreciated
