## Description

In this psychologically rich character study, written and directed by Satyajit Ray, Bengali film star Uttam Kumar draws on his real-world celebrity to play Arindam Mukherjee, a matinee idol on the brink of his first flop. When Mukherjee boards an overnight train to Delhi to accept an award, a journalist (Sharmila Tagore) approaches him seeking an exclusive interview, which initiates a conversation that sends the actor reeling down a path of self-examination. Seamlessly integrating rueful flashbacks and surreal dream sequences with the quietly revelatory stories of the train s other passengers, The Hero is a graceful meditation on art, fame, and regret from one of world cinema s most keenly perceptive filmmakers.BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES- New, restored 2K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack- Interview from 2008 with actor Sharmila Tagore- New program featuring film scholar Meheli Sen- New English subtitle translation- PLUS: An essay by author Pico Iyer and a 1980 tribute to Kumar by Ray

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***Y on 19 August 2018*

Deeply perceptive story of a conceited, popular movie star taking a train to an award ceremony and is forced into self-retrospective reflection by a chance encounter with a magazine editor. His idol facade is slowly stripped away by the interactions with an array of symbolic passengers, the potential box-office failure of his latest film, and intense nightmares, leaving his anxieties, insecurities, regrets, and fears bare. Brilliant, thoughtful character-study and symbolic look into film making and acting. Artfully directed by the great Satyajit Ray. Very reminiscent of Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries, and Fellini's 8 1/2. It's a shame this hidden gem of a film isn't widely known. This Criterion Blu ray is really beautifully restored and has a couple of insightful interviews.
