When I was a teenager I watched a couple of Satyajit Ray movies. I found them boring. However, the feminist angle to this movie made me curious. I liked The Big City and I think it's about time for a rewatch of Satyajit Ray's movies. That was around twenty years ago and a person's perspective can definitely change in that amount of time. This movie is about a housewife who gets a job as a salesperson. When her husband unexpectedly loses her job it's up to her to support the household and their relationship will never be the same. But when she sees a fellow co-worker being discriminated against by her boss the woman has to make some tough decisions. It's pretty long two hours and sixteen minutes but I found it rewarding. The acting in it is pretty solid.
