+Experimental, and controversial, debut feature
+set in the context of the 1960s Naxalite student
+movement in Calcutta. Resorting to a mix of
+colour and monochrome scenes to convey the
+persistence of the past in the present, the story
+tells of a professor of economics, Bhishmadev
+Sharma (Chattrejee), peripherally connected
+with and clearly sympathetic to the student
+movement, who is arrested, tortured and
+imprisoned for ten years. He emerges into a
+changed Calcutta, exemplified by the
+existential traumas of his now rich former
+student Samar Gupta, the writer Pragnya and
+the young activist Udayan, the latter
+unperturbably continuing to claim that the
+present is a revolutionary situation. The film’s
+political passion derives from its refusal to
+forget a traumatic past, juxtaposing the
+interaction of temporal dimensions with a
+sophisticated mise en scene of spatial
+discontinuities.
