The Bengali classic, known internationally as “Days and Nights in the Forest”, was screened under the Cannes Classics section—an honour reserved for timeless works meticulously preserved. This restoration, spearheaded by The Film Foundation's World Cinema Project, was completed in collaboration with L'Immagine Ritrovata, the Film Heritage Foundation (FHF), Janus Films, and the Criterion Collection, with funding from the Golden Globe Foundation.
The Film Heritage Foundation announced on Wednesday that a restored 4K version of Oscar-winning filmmaker Satyajit Ray’s 1970 film “Aranyer Din Ratri” (Days and Nights in the Forest), featuring Soumitra Chatterjee, Sharmila Tagore, and Rabi Ghosh, will be showcased at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
The movie certainly hits all the right notes of nostalgia. Having Soumitra Chatterjee, Sharmila Tagore, Subhendu Chatterjee and Samit Bhanja in their previous characters is indeed a treat.
