What is so great about Bengali cinema anyway?

What is so great about Bengali cinema anyway? It's all very copy-book, studious and done with an inward grunt of intensity. Agreed; there are moments when the sense of borderline suggestiveness can drive you crazy enough, given privacy and good breezy weather but you are just as likely to wake up in a Merchant-Ivory production. Perfect for afternoons on clerical holidays and idle moments committing the number of thick black spectacles that you can spot in the theater. At worst, banal autel porn. Hey! that goes for 36 Ch... as well. So quit grousing, which you never will.
