Three Daughters

For this masterful anthology film—made to honor the centenary of Bengali cultural luminary Rabindranath Tagore—Satyajit Ray adapted three stories by the celebrated writer, each centered around a defining moment in the life of a young woman. Though narratively and tonally distinct, the films—the first a wrenching tale of unrequited love, the second an atmospheric supernatural fable, the third a lighthearted romantic comedy—are united by their sensitivity to the experiences of women constrained by a patriarchal society. The film is presented in standard definition in the best available master.
