Absolute Masterpiece. It's on the league of Pather Panchali, Children of Heaven and The Clay Bird.
Bangladesh finally proves that the versatile and cinematic geniuses they have are absolutely phenomenal. Bijon, the director of this masterpiece, portrayed the beautiful side of the local rural life and the haunting version of it at the same time. The beauty of Islam and the illiterate manipulative people who misuse Islam(or any religion) and lives on it, both sides have been shown very hauntingly.
Very ambitious attempt from Bangladesh despite the budget issue and it's successful both critically and generally. For the very little number of theatres across the country and lack of promotion, this movie couldn't acquire the hype it deserved. Very well-decorated cinematography, mesmerising camera work, astonishing sequences and near-perfect screenplay possible in this medium. We want more feature films from this team. Kudos!
