Calcutta 71 Country: India Language: Bengali Year: 1971 Color/BW: BW Category: Feature Film Genre: Drama
Description A young man, eternally 20, walks through history, through poverty, squalor and death. Eternally 20 and killed so many times - killed because he has been protesting and has remained an agent-provocateur. He comes and goes, between stories, each story having an independent set-up and new characters, but all stories harping on the eternal reality: Poverty and Degradation. While the physical look of poverty and hunger remains unchanged, it is the mind and attitude that keeps on changing. At the end, the young man of 20 appears on the screen again, just killed, and "incites" the spectators to react.
