Review of Kanchenjungha

I'm a Ray-worshiper. But the thing, which haunts me most about this film: the appropriate use of the natural lighting & weather conditions (may be the best in Ray's career). The intangibility syndrome of this Raibahadur comes out vigorously here, against the natural and brave (yet so childish) behavior from a young-educated but worthless (not humanly) person. And again the human mood was trafficking along with the weather change, which is very much relevant with the socio-economic trust/culture of that era. Characterization was perfect as N. Viswanathan was trying to put the western (Bileti) culture into the main stream of daily Bengali life, though want a homely wife! And again the theme 'NATURE', backbone of this film. Ray perfectly blends the random mood of nature and ever changing human mind. Last word: A true masterpiece...
