If you loved La Rivière Subarnarekha, try Etoile cachée
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Ritwik Ghatak, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Rivière Subarnarekha, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Etoile cachée is
Poverty Row melodrama, if directed by early Fassbinder. A woman shoulders every burden for her family of refugees. Ghatak lays bare the familial resentments that fester when survival is all.
