Review of Jalsaghar

Jalsaghar (1958)
8/10
A cineaste's dream come true.
24 August 2020
My Rating : 8/10

Classical music is hardly ever put to better use in a film - there's a magic spell that Satyajit Ray weaves with his extraordinary juxtaposition of actors, setting, dance, dialogues - a total Satyajit Ray gesamtkunstwerk.

Must-watch for any cinephile - while Pather Panchali is one of the greatest in cinema - Jalsaghar is a beautiful addition to the late director's filmography.
