The Beverly Theater brings Satyajit Ray's masterful 1970 Bengali film to its intimate screening room in the Arts District. "Days and Nights in the Forest" follows four young men from Calcutta who escape to the countryside for a holiday, where their urban sophistication gradually unravels through encounters with local residents and two women vacationing nearby. Ray's camera captures both the lush forest setting and the subtle shifts in relationships with his characteristic psychological precision.
This screening offers a chance to experience one of Indian cinema's most celebrated directors in the kind of theater setting that does justice to his careful composition and nuanced storytelling. The Beverly's 150-seat space and excellent acoustics create an environment where Ray's deliberate pacing and rich sound design can work their intended effect, free from the distractions of larger commercial venues.
