Interview

FromMrinal Sen

Year1970

Duration85min.

What does it take to make a good first impression? Shined shoes, combed hair, shaved face ? only the suit is missing for 23-year-old Ranjid's job interview with an Indian-British company. His suit is at the dry cleaners and on this day of all days, all the dry cleaners in the city are on strike. The search for a suit leads to the streets of Calcutta.
Mrinal Sen's political comedy combines documentary-like observations and newsreel footage with slapstick and experimental montage techniques. A fast-paced and radical critique of India's colonial hangover.
