#Bookreview : Aparna Sen A Life in Cinema by Devapriya Sanyal : From Childhood I grew up on the healthy diet of Bengali movies by filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Rituparno Ghosh, Ritwick Ghatak and Aparna Sen. : Reading Aparna Sen A Life in Cinema by Devapriya Sanyal published by @rupa_publications felt like revisiting the childhood lane and reliving the emotions I felt when I watched the entertaining yet heartbreaking Goynar Baksho, the powerful, thought provoking Mr.and Mrs.Iyer and many others.Encountering Meenakshi, Mrinalini, Meethi, Rashmoni, Chaitali and Sarojini in the book felt like greeting old friends after decades. : This book is a detailed account about the films of revolutionary filmmaker Aparna Sen who made movies that challenged the conventional moralities and broke the mold of stereotypical binaries of women portrayed in Cinema.Her movies projected the dark side of human life and society rigged with patriarchal values.Her heroines were independent, confident, empowered and moves with a passion that attracts adoration from the masses. I enjoyed reading the detailed analysis about Goynar Baksho, Mr.and Mrs.Iyer, 36 Chowringee Lane, Arshinagar and her other movies. : If you love Aparna Sen as an actor or admired her thought provoking movies that repeatedly challenged the patriarchal norms of the society, then do read this lovely book. : #qotd:Who is one of your favourite filmmakers and why? #explorepage✨ #AparnaSenalifeincinema #filmlegend #filmmaker #feminist #womenincinema #Indiancinema #bookstagramindia #bookstoread
