Subarnarekha in a great print (at last)

Super experience at IIC Delhi watching Ritwik Ghatak’s Subarnarekha in a really high-quality print. Subarnarekha, which I watched twice in May this year, was one of my major motivations when writing an essay for Shamya Dasgupta’s big Ghatak anthology (and I began my piece - short passage in the image below - with that marvellous nightclub scene near the end, Abhi Bhattacharya with the crazy head-dress, Bijon Bhattacharya rambling drunkenly on about ambrosia and apsaras). But the print I watched yesterday was easily the best of the lot, and it transformed the film again for me (much as I had already admired it). Too many great images to list, but sharing just a few here.
