The Coward 1965
Sublime interplay constantly between couple and old lover. Old love reappears, haunting, carrying the situations and cowardice of man to fated heartbreaks as if it was just delayed. Quite Bergmanlike.

Definitely among the top Ray films from what I have watched so far. Magnificent. The last shot is unforgettably brilliant, carrying the entire film with it.

The way the system runs, consumes is devastating and revealing it's origins, is much more so. There are undoubtedly certain aspects that may have been better, but it is true zameen se judi hui film with exceptionally brave character writing and is politically ahead of its time. Some naunces are something else only.
