The Clay Bird

Bangladesh

Very fine film...much like the work of Satyarjit Ray, only in glorious color. It tells the story of the turmoil in one family in the 60's when East Pakistan was entering the period that let to civil war and eventual independence. Religion, culture, village and family issues were all dealt with simply and honestly.

We rarely get an up-close view into this remote people and their country. This one was well done and memorable.
