Maverick maestro Mrinal Sen may have accidentally forayed into film-making but he had a clear vision: to create a modern cinematic style fashioned in the language of protest. His films leave a rich legacy as the nation’s conscience keeper. In his career spanning more than six decades, the much feted and controversial film-maker had only one commercial hit which paradoxically ushered in the Indian New Wave Cinema.
At Home with Mrinal Sen is an up-close and personal account of the rebel, the genius through the eyes of his close friend and confidant. It showcases the auteur’s never-published-before interview in which the pioneer of Indian cinema reflects back on his art; his cinematic, literary and political influences; his first and only ‘act of violence’; his inadvertent encounter with law; his first brush with romance; his close friendship with the Paradise Café gang comprising Ritwik Ghatak, Salil Choudhury, Kali Banerjee and Tapas Sen; his equation with his contemporaries especially his infamous duel with Satyajit Ray; his identity as the ‘outsider’; and last but not the least, his first love Calcutta.
