Satyajit Ray’s gentle comedy-drama follows four thirty-something friends from Calcutta who retreat to the forest of Palamau, where meetings with Aparna, Jaya and Duli spark a summer of affectionate misunderstandings. Ray examines male immaturity, the caprices of desire and the shock between city life and nature with humour and melancholic grace. Shot with delicate, painterly compositions, the film balances lightness and emotional depth; this 4K restoration highlights Ray’s intimate visual and narrative touch.
In French.
In the presence of Amandine D’Azevedo and Eva Markovits, editors of the book Satyajit Ray – Ce que j’ai toujours su, c’est dessiner !
