Mrinal Sen

1923–2018

Akaler Sandhane won the Silver Bear at Berlin 1981; Kharij won the Special Jury Prize at Cannes 1983. He is one of the few directors honored at Cannes, Venice and Berlin.

The most politically urgent of Bengal's great triumvirate, with restless, self-questioning films on middle-class complacency across a 50-year career.

Known for

Bhuvan Shome (1969) · Calcutta 71 (1972) · Akaler Sandhane (1980) · Kharij (1982)
