The Cinema of Mrinal Sen: A Quest for the Unresolved (Paperback, Amitava Nag)

Young at heart, rebel in the mind. That is Mrinal Sen for you. Outrageous, angry, unorthodox but always honest in his work. His films didn’t provide conclusions, rather they probed the viewer to engage in a dialogue. Silhouette film magazine’s tribute on the master’s centenary captured this timeless essence of his cinema. Neither anecdotal nor heavy with academic jargons, these diverse twenty critical essays are an absolute starting point in any serious discussion on the cinema of Mrinal Sen.
