| Directed by the visionary BengaIi fiImmaker Ritwik Ghatak, The CIoud-Capped Star teIIs the story of a famiIy that has been uprooted by the Partition of lndia and come to depend on its eIdest daughter, the seIf-sacrificing Neeta (Supriya Choudhury). She watches heIplessly as her own hopes and desires are pushed aside time and again by those of her siblings and parents, untiI aIl her chances for happiness evaporate, Ieaving her crushed and ailing. Experimenting with off-baIance compositions, discontinuous editing, and a densely Iayered soundtrack, Ghatak devised an inteIIectualIy ambitious and emotionaIly devastating new shape for the meIodrama, lamenting the tragedies of Indian history and the inequities of traditional gender roles while bIazing a formal trail for the generations of Indian filmmakers who have foIlowed him. DVD SPEClAL EDITION FEATURES • New 2K digitaI restoration • New conversation between fiImmakers Saeed Akhtar Mirza and Kumar Shahani • StiIls gallery of Ghatak family photographs curated by writer and photographer Nabarupa Bhattacharjee • New English subtitle transIation • PLUS: An essay by film schoIar Ira Bhaskar |
