memories of ray#37/ mrinal sen

memories of ray#37_mrinal sen_‘i never thought of becoming a filmmaker’ / Mrinal Sen talks in details about his youth, his early interest in literature and cinema, which came much later in his life, after having read ‘cinema as a graphic art’, a highly technical book about Eisenstein: "That’s why i say that my journey into cinema was very accidental: only after having read all the books on cinema available at the Imperial Library, then i started watching films!". Mrinal Sen also talks about the special relation between Ray and the great art director Bansi Chandragupta, and the early years of the Calcutta film Society/ recorded in 1999 in Calcutta /

i feel this generation of bengalis is lost for ever. my uncle who was bit older than him worked in the government in bengal, was not wealthy, but was a playwright and his library was huge and eclectic...when Sen talks of rudolf arnheim it is quite apparent that the generation back in the 50s and 60s were more expansive in their reading yet completely grounded in bengali language and literature. they absorbed what was happening overseas and infused it into their work without copying it...a generation apart.

Agreed, as the scope was wide for them, a space for fresh start, innovative ideas, a sort of compassion for the content was present among them (Ghatak, ray, and the lots). Now that kind of hunger is present among the new wave directors of Bangladesh (Farooki, Raihan Rafi, Syed Shawki, Ashfaque Nipoon, Amitabh Reza Chaudhary etc.). The good lots of here have dissolved into a mediocre spectrum (Mukhrji, Later films of Kaushik Ganguly and others.) Commercial Cinema has lost its originality, grit and innovative dynamics.(Movies like Shatru, Indrajit and even good remakes of south Indian films, Pralay, kranti etc.) But, Its good to see that পুরোনো অঞ্জন দত্ত is back. Hope the Bengalis will soon understand the panoramic presence of West Bengal outside of Kolkata and implement it in their cultural exhibitions more passionately. (Sheshe sob i politics er khela ar ki 😢)

"I was a pure science student.... Physics was my subject....."he said this so many times! Does it really make any sense??

You need to listen to the interview one more time i guess you will understand. If still not clear then leave it.

[@postlemon2993]

[@asad-firerevenue608]
