“Satyajit Ray’s seriocomic delight DAYS AND NIGHTS IN THE FOREST sharply demonstrates that even when getting away from it all, you can never escape your own hopelessly wretched self.”

“DAYS AND NIGHTS IN THE FOREST… the very title rings with enchantment, and the old Ray magic is soon at work again … A poetic masterpiece.”
—Sight and Sound
One of writer-director-composer Satyajit Ray’s best and heretofore least accessible films is back in a new restoration. Four cosmopolitan sophisticates from Kolkata attempt to go “back to the garden” — a popular pursuit in the Age of Aquarius. The quartet finds many of their assumptions about rural/urban divisions (and, importantly, caste divisions) shattered in this breezy but multilayered comedy of manners and self-discovery. Free Member Monday — free admission for all AFS members on Monday, June 1.
