Fri 16.8., 21.15h & Thu 22.8., 20h NAYAK The Hero Satyajit Ray India 1966 OmeU 117'
Acting star Arindam (the then Bengali star Uttam Kumar) travels by train from Kolkata to Delhi, where he is to receive an award. He is approached by a journalist and begins to reveal his past, fears and secrets to her. When the train reaches its destination, Arindam is met by his enthusiastic fans and switches back to his star self, in which there is no room for guilt or confessions. In artful flashbacks, Ray tells a convoluted life story, as entertaining as it is moving in its sensitively formulated doubts about supposed values such as fame and success.
