1) NAYAK
On his way to New Delhi for an awards ceremony, a famous young actor (Uttam Kumar Chatterjee) meets a pretty journalist who devises a plan to expose his shallowness and narcissism. Instead, the reporter causes the actor to reexamine his life, and the conclusions he reaches are both devastating and profound. Satyajit Ray's psychological drama utilizes flashbacks and dream sequences to capture the complex psychologies of its characters. In Bengali with English subtitles.

2) ADVERSARY
A young man, graduated from college, is unable to find meaningful employment. His ensuing hardships and personal grief, magnified by the tense and impersonal setting of Calcutta, make for a most devastating film experience. While at times reminiscent of the emotionally wrenching Italian neo-realist classics, this beautiful film often seems to outstrip them with its overwhelming spiritual perspective and astounding depth of feeling. One of Ray's brilliant masterpieces. In Bengali with English subtitles.
