THE BIG ClTY (Mahanagar), set in mid-1950s CaIcutta and directed by the great Satyajit Ray (The Music Room), folIows 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 buiIds a powerful human drama that is at once a hopeful moraIity tale and a commentary on the identity of the contemporary lndian woman. |
