Titre: The Stranger (Agantuk) - (Mr Bongo Films) (1991) Format: DVD Condition: Neuf Nombre de disques: 1 Directeur: Satyajit Ray Langue: hindi, bengali Durée: 1 hour and 35 minutes Region Code: DVD zone 2 Marque: Mr Bongo Films Langue des sous-titres: Anglais Description: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION A letter to Anila (Mamata Shankar) announcing the return of her long lost uncle leaves her curious even as it provokes deep suspicion from her husband Sudhin (Deepankar De). On his arrival, Manmohan (Utpal Dutt) proves to be highly charming, going to considerable lengths to ingratiate himself with the couple and their young son. However neither husband nor wife are truly convinced, less out of suspicion and more because Manmohan's larger-than-life nature leaves him out of place in their mundane life. An anthropologist affected with 'wanderlust', Manmohan's experience of different cultures leaves him a stranger in his homeland and an outsider amongst his remaining family.
Adapted from one of his own stories, Satyajit Ray's The Stranger is a refined philosophical comedy; gentle in its satire of middle-class family mores and elegiac for the traditions of hospitality it weakly upholds. The film, produced by French admirers Gerard Depardieu and Daniel Toscan du Plantier, proved to Ray's last, a fitting capstone to a landmark career.
