It is an intimate record of the development of this extraordinary film maker.  Here for the first time, he comes out of his self-imposed 'Lakshmanrekha'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMrinal Sen, the stormy petrel of Indian Cinema, has often said that he became a film director by accident.  In reality, he neither did nor ever wanted to do anything other than film making.  Sen's entire life is a series of such apparent contradictions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMrinal Sen came to the limelight in the last Sixties with Bhuvan Shome, a film made out of a shoe-string budget and a simple storyline. This film inspired a whole generation of film makers and heralded, what is now called, the Parallel Cinema Movement in India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a film maker, Mrinal Sen grew up with his time and his films show the growth, development and moral dilemma of the middle class.  A non-conformist from the beginning, he broke away from the commercial set-up of cinema, freely experimented with new styles and techniques of film making and even dared to cross swords with the legendary Satyajit Ray.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eThe Birth of a Film Maker\u003cbr\u003eEarly Films\u003cbr\u003eThe Years of Controversy\u003cbr\u003eThe Breakthrough\u003cbr\u003eYears of Anger and Turbulence\u003cbr\u003eThe Period of Transition\u003cbr\u003eThe Return of the Prodigal\u003cbr\u003eThe Attempted Masterpiece\u003cbr\u003eThe Flight to Nowhere\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: The Line in Winter\u003cbr\u003ePostscript \/ Appendix \/ Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Birth of a Film Maker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarly Films (1960-64)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Years of Controversy (1965-66)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Breakthrough (1969)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears of Anger and Turbulence (1970-74)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Period of Transition (1976-78)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Return of the Prodigal (1979-83)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Attempted Masterpiece (1986)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Flight to Nowhere (1989-93)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: The Lion in Winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePostscript\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Deepankar Mukhopadhyay \/ HarperCollins\/Indus \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153696813424,"sku":"6563","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/6563.jpg?v=1793912771","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-maverick-maestro","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
