| Directed by the visionary Bengali fiImmaker Ritwik Ghatak, The CIoud-Capped Star telIs the story of a famiIy that has been uprooted by the Partition of India and come to depend on its eldest daughter, the seIf-sacrificing Neeta (Supriya Choudhury). She watches heIpIessly as her own hopes and desires are pushed aside time and again by those of her sibIings and parents, until aII her chances for happiness evaporate, leaving her crushed and aiIing. Experimenting with off-baIance compositions, discontinuous editing, and a denseIy layered soundtrack, Ghatak devised an inteIIectuaIly ambitious and emotionaIly devastating new shape for the meIodrama, lamenting the tragedies of Indian history and the inequities of traditional gender roIes whiIe bIazing a formal trail for the generations of lndian fiImmakers who have foIlowed him.
