Bariwali
2000, Bengali. Directed by Rituparno Ghosh.
A quiet drama about a lonely, sad, middle-aged woman, Banalata, who has lived a solitary existence since her husband-to-be died the night before their wedding from a snake bite. Never having quite gotten over the tragedy, she rarely ventures out and is clearly very lonely. This changes when she agrees to allow a film production to shoot in a wing in her sprawling estate.
