Four young men take off from the city of Calcutta on a car to let down their hair in the wilderness of a forest town in Bihar. Bubbling with over confidence and arrogance, their attempt at severing all communications with ‘civilization’, however, meets with some accidents, some happy and some not so happy when they interact with the locals and the female members of a family that have also come to the forest town for vacation. The poise and the self-assurance of the four friends peel off gradually as they are caught on the wrong foot by the female characters on a number of occasions, who bail them out, and the friends are forced to look at themselves in a new light. It is like a rites of passage for them as they are forced to come to terms with their shortcomings and by the time they drive back to the city, they are no longer the same.

“On the surface, this Satyajit Ray film is a lyrical romantic comedy about four educated young men from Calcutta, driving together for a few days in the country, and the women they meet. The subtext is perhaps the subtlest, most plangent study of the cultural tragedy of imperialism; the young men are self-parodies–clowns who ape the worst snobberies of the British. A major film by one of the great film artists, starring Soumitra Chatterjee and the incomparably graceful Sharmila Tagore. - Pauline Kael in Reeling

“… every word and gesture is recognizable, comprehensible, true … Ray’s work at its best, like this, has an extraordinary rightness in every aspect of its selection and presentation - the timing, performance, cutting, music - which seem to place it beyond discussion.” David Robinson, Financial Times

This is a film of extraordinary subtlety, refinement and depth. A classic of world cinema by one of the cinema’s greatest directors.

Días y noches en el bosque. Un grupo de amigos de Calcuta viaja a la provincia por unos pocos días. Con una sutileza única, Ray va descubriendo realidades sociales, vidas interiores, amores y desamores.
Subtítulos en castellano de un servidor.

Quatre amis, Ashim (jeune cadre prometteur), Sanjoy (contremaître dans une manufacture de jute), Hari (grand sportif, joueur de cricket) et Sekhar (chômeur un peu parasite, le bouffon du groupe) ont quitté Calcutta en voiture, pour quelques jours de congé dans la forêt de Palamau, à l’est de la province du Bihar. Ils s’installent dans un bungalow. Ils rencontrent une jeune indigène, puis des bourgeoises de Calcutta. Diverses relations s’ébauchent, apparemment superficielles, mais qui mettent à nu la vérité des êtres. Les quatre amis repartent pour Calcutta, différents, enrichis, plus mûrs.
