Скачать или смотреть The Chess Players Analysis | Satyajit Ray

The Influence of Satyajit Ray pulls off this rare achievement of subtly packing in political overtones of Awadh/Avadh's fall into the cultural undertones of Indian Society. Therefore, I regard The Chess Players as one of the really good movies set in British India. It holds its own.

Instead of observing the tyrannies of the British Rule, The Chess Players redirects our attention to the complacency and naîve nature of some of the upper-class Indians in the state of Awadh, which marks one of the turning points in the fate of princely states in the British era.

The Suave Critic Video Essays consist of analysis videos on your favourite Indian and World Arthouse Films that are predominantly focused on shedding light on the morality, art and language of filmmaking. The biggest observation made by us is that most of the video essays today borrow a lot of style from the films in the discussion, instead of focussing on producing a thought-provoking experience through a personal style. A lot of other essays are too fast and detached from the form of good filmmaking. The Suave Critic believes that the video essay is as much of an art as the film it is on.
