Director Satyajit Ray always claimed that Charulata was his favorite of his own films, and watching it now almost a half century after its premiere, it’s easy to see its appeal. It’s an unconventional triangle love story told in such a delicate and adult way with scores of striking images and adept, in-depth characterizations that simply sear the soul. Great performances and haunting camerawork combine to make a singular cinematic work of art.
