Reihe: Ghatak's Partition Quartet: The Screenplays

The concluding volume of the Partition Quartet Screenplays of Ritwik Ghatak, Subarnarekha is a devastating critique of the fallout of the partition. Set in post-partition Bengal, it chronicles the journey of refugee families as they attempt to settle down in a new land after surviving the worst bloodbath witnessed in the history of the subcontinent and the mass migration that followed. Ghatak’s cinematic narrative, in the ‘critical melodramatic’ form, acquires tremendous resonance through the use of music, myth, archetypes and allegory to articulate a critique of modern civilization’s destructive potential.
