1965, india. a double bill. kapurush (the coward): 74 min. ; mahapurush (the holy man): 65min. b / w, in bengali with subtitles
: film session featuring performances by north indian musicans ali akbar khan (sarod) and pandit mahapurush misra (tabla). recorded by robert garfias, dan grinstead, and byong won lee at the university of washington school of music. from the published film
wedged between a serene backwater and a turqoise blue sea in a land, the name of which quite literally translates as god' s garden, mahapurush nyahari nivas is a bed and breakfast located at a minutes walking distance from the beach with a homely ambiance equipped with amenities that emulate the standards of hotels in tarkarli .
an avid ray fan, shepard then took the initiative to double - check and restore ray classics such as pather panchali, aparajito, apur sansar, paras pathar, jalsaghar, devi, teen kanya, abhijan, mahanagar, nayak, goopy byne bagha byne, seemabaddha, jana aranya and kapurush o mahapurush. the entire restoration fund has been provided by the oscar academy .
kapurush reveals ray at his very sharpest as a psychologist; every scene is model of supple, lifelike dialogue and probing, telling camerawork... . there is much below the surface that does not strike the casual gaze. although mahapurush is near to straight farce, it still has a rich script carried off with much aplomb and relish by its cast .
- andrew robinson (ray' s biographer )
satyajit ray' s bengali comedy, the hilarious mahapurush (the holy man), showcases the
spiritual powers
of
birinchi baba
( charuprakash ghosh), a hindu ascetic, who captures the imagination of a retired lawyer and his devout hindu family. however, the lawyer' s daughter (gitali roy) has a clever boyfriend (satindra bhattachryya) who sees through the facade and decides to expose this smooth - talking hypnotist, masquerading as a spiritual guru .
kapurush (74 minutes) and mahapurush (65 minutes) are narrative sketches that allowed ray to subtly experiment with form and style; as such, they worked against expectations at the time (“many of ray’s critics think that ray is making too many films in too short a span of time, ” scoffed one bengali journalist) and were largely dismissed upon their release. but according to andrew robinson’s book on ray, the filmmaker said, “these are twin films i have considerable affection for; i have a pretty high opinion of kapurush myself and i was disappointed by the response. ” i’m leaning toward ray’s assessment .
the ucla film archive is in the midst of its festival of preservation, and last weekend, it exhibited two rare short features satyajit ray released in 1965 as a double bill: kapurush and mahapurush (the holy man). sixteen of ray’s films (deteriorated by india’s humid climate) have been restored since 1993, but you wouldn’t know it given the abysmal dearth of ray’s cinema on dvd in the us, which amounts to four films (including the apu trilogy) that were unceremoniously dumped on barebones discs by columbia. living in los angeles, i’ve had the chance to see several of the restored prints the past few years, and it’s a mystery why they aren’t more widely available .
mahapurush –the lightest of the two–was based on a story by satirist rajsekhar bose and has been accurately described as a farce about a charlatan posing as a holy man (evidenced by “miracles, ” esoteric rituals, and outlandish claims of having taught einstein and palled around with plato, jesus, and buddha) and his impact on a group of characters, both doting and skeptical. “people call it crucifiction, ” the man says imperiously. “i call it crucifact! ” with a kind of ’60s british playfulness, the movie utilizes animation, freeze frames, and exaggerated performances to convey its story about the charlatan and his ultimate exposure. what makes the film especially acerbic is ray’s skewering of the charlatan’s adda group (including a scientist and a lawyer) who blithely forgo their education simply for the emotional excitement and social notoriety of affinity with the “holy man. ” in ray’s eyes, the charlatan is merely a swindler but his followers deny their own intelligence .

this is one of ray' s short stories. it lacks the intensity of his full - length features. its a satire which appropriately captures the post - independence indian zeitgeist. its a sweet tale of how a charlatan is exposed with help from basic science and motivation from a lover boy in distress. be it a short story or not, in every one of his movies, ray has been a beacon by conveying his socially progressive ideas. he' s a master at exposing the fault lines in the indian society and delivering his wisdom packaged in a entertaining manner. i saw the movie in a combination pack with another one of his shorts - kapurush. kapurush is an emotion - packed drama. it captures the anxiety and rekindling of emotions of a chance meeting between two estranged lovers .

at gupta' s house, he is introduced to his wife karuna (madhabi mukherjee). amitabha is shocked to find her to be the girl he once loved and had let down. unaware of their past relationship, gupta entertains amitabha. he comes across as a simple man with none of the physical or intellectual charms of roy .

( 1965) isn’t really a person but a class: the talksy, urban, skeptical, pseudo - intellectual, down - at - the - heels professionals of kolkata’s middling strata. the paper - thin plot concerns a bogus guru and the comic band of armchair einsteins who set out to expose him. but the story takes a back seat to the social milieu, which ray depicts with a loving, lightly mocking eye .
the movie’s especially attentive to interiors, where sloping stacks of books, dusty lithographs, porcelain hula girls, cuckoo clocks, barometers, telescopes, and hanging laundry express the big dreams and small means of the persons who live inside them. ray’s insurance agents and ledger keepers, chess enthusiasts and crackpot professors have their noses pressed against the glass of a wider world that’s not quite theirs to enter, assembling a secondhand modernity out of snatches of technical english, faulty reel - to - reel tape machines, loud synthetic shirts, and an eclectic worldview that rolls jesus and tulsidas, the buddha and e = mc2, into one catch - all philosophy .
ray comes up with a neat visual trick for depicting the guru’s teachings: time forward moves in a clockwise circle with one index finger, time past moves counterclockwise in the other. it sounds simple, but no one in the movie can do it till the end, except for babuji, and lesley and i are having a hard time with it here. babuji claims to be over 2, 000 years old, and wows his followers with stories of his days instructing jesus, einstein, plato, and siddhartha on the illusory nature of time present. his syncretic spirituality resembles the jumble in ray’s apartments, and babuji fits into these characters’ lives as naturally as cigarettes and telephones .
) discuss the guru’s claims. they don’t do anything but talk—nobody in the film’s kolkata does anything but talk—yet in a few short minutes ray celebrates the humor, curiosity, optimism, and warmth of the type in dutta’s nani, busy infusing grass with music from a hand organ to “oxidize” the proteins so the rice yield improves. the farcical, throwaway plot lets ray show his range (a quality his fan
could learn from) while sketching a wry portrait of beatlemania - era india and its ironies .
a beautiful film! with a rather thin plot, ray is having fun with other aspects of the movie, some of the dialog sequences are just brilliant .

my ignorance of indian cinema is nearly entire. i' ve seen spoofs of bollywood dance numbers, and whatever is playing on the tv of my local indian buffet while i' m happily munching on samosas. it' s not that i' m anti - indian cinema, but i just don' t even know where to start. i' ve heard of
the holy man
director satyajit ray only because some of his songs were included on the soundtrack to
the darjeeling limited .
still, that fact, combined with the short run time, and this film' s availability on hulu' s criterion collection films seems as good as any place to start .
birinchi baba (charuprakash ghosh) is a round - faced guru who throws cookies into crowds and lets people touch his feet for good luck. he, and his dim - witted assistant (robi ghosh) are travelling via train, and their cabin - mate, gurupada mitter (prasad mukherjee) begs for help, as the death of his wife has left him distraught. the baba basically installs himself in gurupada' s house, orating to ever - larger audiences, who are wooed by his tales of interacting with everyone from jesus to einstein. a few of the locals see through baba' s act, and plot to drive him out of the town before he ruins his host financially .
one of the things that i found fascinating about
the holy man
is that it wasn' t off - putting at all. again, in all of my ignorance, i kept half - expecting a song - and - dance number to break out, but
the holy man
was more in line with some of akira kurosawa' s lower - key work (like parts of
high and low
), or something like stanley kubrick' s
the killing .
the visuals weren' t fanciful (other than being a glimpse into a completely different culture, which was fun), but
the holy man
was approached in a matter - of - fact, low - key manner, which felt very familiar to me (i consider that a positive). the plot was very relatable, as well; it' s easy to understand how desperate, troubled people might fall for what appears to be the answer to their prayers, and the notion of using religion as a cloak for criminal ulterior motives is universal .
there were a lot of things that i liked about
the holy man .
first, the technical aspects were all handled well, and the film is in great shape. i' ve seen enough foreign films to know that sometimes you have to trade technical smoothness to get at something different; no trade - off was required here. it looks like a film made in the' 60s, not a low - budget indie film that was strung together. secondly, the acting was good all the way around, and charuprakash ghosh was really good as a charismatic holy con - man. he has a unique, expressive face, and a sense of flamboyance that befits someone putting on a show for the locals. the cast, on the whole, were enjoyable (and represented an array of general types of people - it' s not like a hollywood film, where everyone can appear to have arrived on - set directly from the same gym and same hair - stylists) .
the holy man
was a comfortable introduction to satyajit ray' s work, at the least. i wouldn' t hesitate to watch another film by him; perhaps a little research will yield what is considered his best handful of films - there' s no point in dancing around the periphery of someone' s creative output until you know whether or not you really dig the work. the plot was tight, and the short run - time made this really easy to get through (i will sometimes hedge my bets with unknown material and choose whatever' s shortest, just in case i really don' t like it). i don' t know where this films falls in ray' s work, but you could do a lot worse than to spend roughly an hour taking in
the holy man .
a suitor (satindra bhattacharya) is suspicious of a holy man' s (charuprakash ghosh) claims that he knows plato, leonardo da vinci and buddha .
as a thief breaks into a middle class apartment of a young couple at one end of the city, a himalaya returned guru settles for a religious discourse at a business tycoon' s bungalow the same night. as pada, the thief faces a crisis, swad gajananda swami by virtue of his magical powers mesmerizes his disciples and enjoys the best food, hospitality and other generous attention. the two incidents are too far fetched to be connected but fate has other things in store. its a question of putting up an act and sticking by it .

kapurush is a much more subtle–even somewhat antonioniesque–film about a calcutta screenwriter named amitabha roy who finds himself stranded in a remote region that he is researching for a story; a tea plantation owner offers him lodging, where roy is shocked to discover that the man’s wife, karuna, is his former lover. their reunion–enmeshed with awkward social niceties and the man’s monologues on bourgeois living–sparks memories of a past when roy was a student and emotionally unwilling to elope with karuna when their situation demanded it. karuna now appears stifled and unhappy in her marriage, and roy must re - evaluate his decision .
ray develops delicious irony through the fact that the screenwriter is researching the region in order to discover greater emotional verity (“you must write what you know, ” he dully repeats) but in doing so, comes face to face with a moment in his life when his emotional integrity was utterly compromised (hence the title). given the similarity in names and occupations between filmmaker and protagonist, one wonders if this might be an open self - critique, a laying bare of ray’s own grapplings with conscience .
confessional or not, it’s a deeply felt and observantly rendered mood piece that pivots on setting, camera placement, actor positions, and an editing structure that incorporates flashbacks via emotional associations: roy’s sleepless night in bed reminds him of his last conversation with karuna in his (ironically designed) three - cornered student apartment; a jeep tour of the countryside reminds him of his first meeting with karuna on a public bus; karuna’s hand reminds him of a time when he pretended to read her palm. the psychological sophistication of the film’s structure belies its simple story of “boy meets girl, boy loses girl, ” a formula repeated by the jovial plantation owner to summarize the screenwriter’s craft. (ray includes several similarly self - reflexive notes, such as having the husband ask to appear as a character in roy’s developing screenplay, but not as a villain, a sentiment ray upholds by emphasizing the plantation owner’s intelligence and self - awareness despite his shortcomings. )
the flashback to roy’s student room is the film’s pivotal scene, thematically and plot - wise, in which he fails to act on his love for karuna, and it’s a beautiful crescendo of silent intensity, beyond the couple’s initial dialogue, to a moment of painful, dawning awareness. in the sweaty, cramped confines of the three - cornered room with traffic sounds increasingly audible offscreen, ray captures karuna’s distressed face in the foreground with roy receded (emotionally and physically) in the background, emphasizing the moment in a way that imprints it on the mind of the viewer; the scene hovers over the rest of the film .
ray so often composed his own scores, which added immeasurably to the atmosphere of his films, and kapurush is no exception; the film is graced with a beautiful, unexpectedly bluesy saxophone piece that perfectly embellishes the film’s low - key emotional tensions. a filmmaker much more diverse than is commonly assumed given the meager availability of his films in the west, ray’s musical versatility should also come as no surprise .

satyajit ray transformed the face of indian cinema with classics such as pather panchali and days and nights in the forest. but before that, he was a graphic designer, and created his own groundbreaking posters, with which he distilled the themes and moods of his films into a single image – in effect, a paper trailer that was posted all over india' s streets. as an exhibition of ray' s posters opens at bfi southbank, london, here are a selection of his best .
created from drawings and notes rather than a script, ray’s debut film offered a child’s - eye portrait of impoverished rural life. the antithesis of extravagant bollywood, the poster for this realist, lyrical and humane film incorporates folk - art - tinged design and hand - drawn motifs – as if apu, the film’s six - year - old protagonist, had scribbled them himself. photograph: bfi / society for the preservation of satyajit ray archives and ray estate, kolkata
ray often turned his camera on the dilemmas of women and their position in society. here, a hallucinatory design illustrates a pivotal scene in his 19th - century period study of religious superstition, when an elderly man dreams his daughter - in - law is the embodiment of the hindu goddess kali. here, the division of the young girl’s face represents her split identity. photograph: bfi / society for the preservation of satyajit ray archives and ray estate, kolkata
: ray’s command of portraiture can be observed throughout his graphic work, from the faces of characters he sketched for children’s stories to his charming depictions of directors he met or admired, such as john ford and akira kurosawa. here his fragile, minimal brushstrokes bring alive the longing of the film’s lonely housewife for her husband’s cousin. ray borrowed the ornate style of the title’s calligraphy from his hero, the poet
, whose short story the film was based on. photograph: bfi / society for the preservation of satyajit ray archives and ray estate, kolkata
: this surreal image showcases ray’s unusual treatment of photography at a time when most indian film posters were hand - painted. perhaps influenced by the contemporary pop art photomontages, these floating, cut - out heads are a recurring motif in ray’s designs, and here introduce a comical note that hints at the film’s satirical tone. photograph: bfi national archive
: in this mysterious nocturnal image, ray shows the film’s true protagonist: the forest that transforms the four rich and arrogant kolkata bachelors who stay there during a weekend road trip in this still - timely fable about india’s urban - rural divide. photograph: bfi / society for the preservation of satyajit ray archives and ray estate, kolkata
: ray was often accused of ignoring politics; the adversary – set amid the upheaval and violence of 1970s kolkata, then in the grip of naxalite radicalism – was his retort. he draws attention to this with the hand - drawn figure of a gunman at the centre of the film’s fractured title block. ray would often design a number of different posters for each film. one version for the adversary sees ray experimenting further with the logo, splintering it as a bullet would. photograph: bfi national archive
: in addition to his beautiful woodcut illustrations for children’s stories, ray also wrote and sketched his own detective and sci - fi tales. this adaptation of one of his own novels is told through the eyes of a six - year - old boy, and, continuing the idea he originated with his pather panchali poster, ray made sure the loud, playful lettering and drawings on the poster could have been his character’s creations. photograph: bfi / society for the preservation of satyajit ray archives and ray estate, kolkata
