From his first film, Nagarik (“The Citizen,” 1953) through his final film, Jukti Takko ar Gappo (“An Argument, a Debate, and a Story,” 1974), Ghatak constructed detailed visual and aural filmic commentaries about modern Bengali culture and society. Twice during his lifetime Bengal was physically rent apart – in 1947 with the Partition of India engendered by the departure of the British and in 1971 by the Bangladeshi War of Independence. In Ghatak’s films, the ambivalence and contradictions of Bengali society in post-1947, post-Partition, post-Independence India are pointedly portrayed. Against this frequently adverse milieu, Bengal’s modern cultural memory, identity, and history are interrogated and continually reassessed in his cinema.
