E38. Let's Talk, Melbourne with Aditya - Bimal Roy

Aditya Aggarwal is a Toronto based film curator and writer. He drops by the pod this week to deep dive into one of the founding furthers of Hindi Cinema Bimal Roy. Roy's Do Bigha Zamin was nominated for the Palme d'Or and he went to make many critically and commercially successful movies such as   Parineeta, Biraj Bahu, Devdas, Madhumati, Sujata, Parakh.Aditya and I talk about Roy's movies, cinematography, framing, music and his legacy. Aditya is a thoughtful, informed voice, who is both succinct and eloquent in his insights and observations on cinemas, it was pure joy to talk to an avid cinema lover and chronicler, if you've not read his movie review on Raj Kapoor's Awara - (https://inreviewonline.com/2024/09/24/the-thief-turns-bardic-on-raj-kapoors-awaara/?fbclid=PAQ0xDSwKCOAtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp677o15lfGzpIdvlR0kp-eneASMrRJrQr2tubP6aW5Kdhl85cyMjQIAhCcwl_aem_3MFGUx9gxEMUlaW3Wxb44A ) It's a gorgeous piece of film writing.
