50 years ago,
legendary Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray
adapted and directed three stories by Rabindranath Tagore,
originally set and written in India
50 years before.
Teen Kanya (The Three Daughters)
is the feature that's composed of the shorts
and you can watch them all on youtube for free:
The Postmaster
Monihara (The Lost Jewels)
Samapti (The Conclusion)
each piece--as with Sanyasi--highlights a young female character
who unexpectedly challenges the lifestyles of an older man.
(The Postmaster, for sure, is worth a watch.)
50 years later,
as we prepare OUR n.e.w. c0ntEmp0rarieey production of Sanyasi,
these serve as insights on how Ray freshly readdressed Tagore's stories
while maintaining and complementing the fundamental elements that
50 years won't bury.

p.s. the shorts also have original scores (written by the director, Satyajit Ray)!
