Buddhadeb Dasgupta has established himself as one of India’s finest filmmakers and won international acclaim for his thirteen feature films characterised by technical excellence and artistic beauty and noted for their extraordinary originality in both style and substance. In this book, every one of the feature films are discussed in detail the films about the vulnerability of dedication, the struggle against poverty, the integrity of the modern day artist, notions of sanity and insanity and falling out of history, the transcending of human society and its various constraints on creativity, and the triumph of beauty over the ugliness of violence. There is a concluding chapter on the relationship between his poetry and his cinema.

John W Hood is an internationally recognised scholar of Indian art cinema and is known for his work.
