Directed by Satyajit Ray, written by Satyajit Ray, Baiju Bawra and Ramnidhi Gupta, produced by R.D. Bansal.
Average viewer score of 7.5/10 from 154 ratings.
Departing from the West's traditional approaches to narrative, performance, and technique, Satyajit Ray tells a story of marital alienation and the tension between material and spiritual concerns. The result is a profoundly calm film that reflects on the balance between work and one's spouse.
