Days and Nights in the Forest (Aranyer din ratri; Araṇyera dinarātri) Review

probably the most wondrous thing about this wonder of a wonderful movie is the wonder that no one knows about it. i've seen it at various film festivals since it's release in the late 60s and the response has always been tumultuous. it's warmth and humor is so contagious that within minutes after it begins, 'days and nights' arouses even the most indifferent of audiences to applause. it's never been shown on cable television, never been given a deservedly wide release, only been offered on video in one of the most deplorable vhs presentations it's been my misfortune to happen upon.... and dvd? in spite of criterion's intelligent collection of important films, this particular title languishes in obscurity. when it was being offered as part of a satyajit ray retrospective at the LA County Museum of Art a few years ago, i sent out a call to all my movie friends not to miss it. only one person came, and she agreed with me that it was an overwhelming experience. ray was Bengali and the film is in Bengali and though the language is spoken only by a minority of india's inhabitants, there is not one alienating, unfamiliar or obscure moment in it. a 'ray' tribute is taking place here in LA right now so i quickly checked the schedule. and guess what? no 'days and nights in the forest.' how is it that so-called film esthetes are willing to stand in line and fawn over the most contemptible, boring, idiotic dreck imaginable while allowing this masterpiece to slip by? i found it a wonder back then and it's still a wonder today. but the most astonishing wonder is.... no one seems to know it exists.
