"Genesis"
1986
Directed by Mrinal Sen

From one of India's most interesting filmmakers, Mrinal Sen, comes a parable of man's exploitation by his fellow man. A weaver and a farmer live peacefully beyond civilization, until a woman comes into their lives. "It brings home the sparseness, beauty and perils of existence," wrote The New York Times. Music by Ravi Shankar. Hindi with English subtitles.  105 minutes.
