The Cloud-Capped Star

Film Description

Aka Meghe Dhaka Tara. A dark melodrama set in fifties Calcutta - an oldest daughter struggles to keep her refugee family above water and together. A bitter view of the family institution it is at once compassionate, human and resolutely unsentimental. Probably Ghatak's finest film.
