Gogol !!!!!!!! still rings in my ears. I also thought it is a good movie. At my age, the captivating scene was when the professor went on a trip and was hospitalized, his helplessness and the call to his wife. Dilip

Beautiful! Very well crafted, acted,directed and obviously from an enormously perceptively and sensitively written book which I have not read. Having known several Bengali families quite well in Southern California in the 70s, and having also lived in Kolkata a little; many of the little nuances of the lives of Bengali immigrants portrayed faithfully and sensitively , the movie instantly struck a chord. The story also could be similar to the experiences of a number of Oxomiya immigrants as well in certain areas, even though I would not go so far as to suggest it is a typical Oxomiya immigrant's saga. Another fine creation from Mira Nair. Recommend it highly. _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
