Explore the poignant themes of alienation and loss in Indian middle-class life with ‘The Absence Trilogy (India List)’. This essential volume from The Bookish Owl showcases three seminal films by the legendary Mrinal Sen: Ekdin Pratidin, Kharij, and Ekdin Achanak. Though not a formal trilogy, these celebrated works delve into the profound impact of absence—a sudden disappearance and its ripple effects on family dynamics, values, and relationships. Featuring detailed shot-by-shot script reconstructions, a compelling introductory essay by Somnath Zutshi, and striking black-and-white film stills, this book offers deep insights into Sen’s masterful parallel cinema. Discover the enduring cinematic artistry and thematic richness of one of India’s most influential filmmakers, now accessible to a global audience.
