Always Being Born - A Memoir

Om Always Being Born - A Memoir

An outspoken memoir by a much-celebrated Indian filmmaker.   "I am a filmmaker by accident and an author by compulsion," claims Mrinal Sen, who became part of the great triumvirate of Bengali cinema-along with Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak-in the 1950s and '60s when he founded the rebellious Indian New Wave. Throughout his career, he kept that fire of protest burning, his acute political awareness and left-wing orientation spurring his creativity. Over decades, the themes that pervaded his cinema mirrored the spectrum of human suffering and experience, and in turn crystallized the anger of a restive mind against social injustice, economic deprivation, and communal divide. In this memoir, a celebrated ambassador of Indian cinema on the global stage, for whom cinema became a lexicon that gave voice to the times, reflects on encounters with the legends of the world of images as well as his inspirations and obsessions-not least among them, the city of Calcutta. Always Being Born is a fascinating memoir of a great artist and a buoyant social commentator who continued to confront, fight, and survive on the very challenges that propelled him to look beyond and dream.
