Every single person is political: Aparna Sen on her new film Gharey Bairey, Aaj and the need for a moderate voice
Unlike the novel or Satyajit Ray’s film, where the politics of the author is not only blatant but his allegiance is foregrounded, Aparna Sen is more nuanced, less blatant in her adaptation of Gharey Bairey.
Aparna Sen apologises profusely for being late. She holds her hands and literally stoops for arriving twenty minutes later than the scheduled time for her session at the Jagran Film Festival. “There was some miscommunication. I hate being late. I am always punctual. In fact, I am known for it,” she says, this time verbally apologising and reminding how Friday was an anomaly. Later, someone, probably trying to remind her of her maladaptive relationship with time, tells her, albeit in jest, how she has made only 13 films in her long-spanning career. Sen is apologetic again, but this time she takes responsibility for it. “I only make films when I have something to say,” she asserts. Sen as a filmmaker is keenly aware of the time we are living in, and her latest film, Gharey Bairey, Aaj that premiered at the festival bears a fitting testimony to it
