If you loved Le Monde d'Apu, try Charulata
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 Satyajit Ray, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Le Monde d'Apu, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

A bored housewife’s cultural ambitions find an unexpected muse in her husband’s poet cousin. A few late-19th-century Calcutta afternoons turn art into something dangerously flirtatious. Much like the era itself, the affair is all suggestion and powdered noses.
