If you loved The Golden Thread, try The Cloud-Capped Star

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

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 The Golden Thread, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Cloud-Capped Star 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.
