Jiban Trishna

About This Movie

Jiban Trishna is a fascinating exploration of class and morality, unfolding in 1950s Bengal. Asit Sen, in his directorial prowess, crafts a narrative that’s both intimate and thought-provoking. The pacing allows for a slow burn, drawing us into the lives of the characters with a delicate touch. The tension between the affluent philanderer and the struggling artist is palpable, elevated by the performances that seem to breathe life into their struggles. There’s this unique interplay of visual storytelling, with practical effects that enhance the emotional weight rather than distract. The stepbrother's disdain for wealth adds a compelling layer, shifting between desperation and humor. It's a film that lingers, lingering in thought well after the credits roll.
