Regarded among his finest works, these films—though not strictly a trilogy, having been produced years apart—each explores the theme of absence: the sudden disappearance of an individual, the resulting exposure of underlying values, and the profound changes in relationships and attitudes among those left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This volume features shot-by-shot reconstructions (as in post-production film scripts) of all three films, alongside a comprehensive introductory essay from Somnath Zutshi. It is richly illustrated with black-and-white reproductions of scenes from the films, providing a visual complement to the textual analysis. This edition brings Sen's cinematic artistry and thematic depth to an international audience, offering an insightful exploration of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seagull Books London Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49242503577827,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781803095097-1.jpg?v=1788411852","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/zh\/products\/9781803095097","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
