"Devi" (1960) is a film you
should not miss. Some people will
be bored with it but I will never
forget it.
Set in 19th century Bengal, it
is the moody story of a very rich7
and prayerful father who receives
the visionary word that his daugh-
ter-in-law is the incarnation of
Bengal's most revered goddess,
Kali, mother of all.{
As the young bride - 17 years
old and three years married -
and most of the household suc-
cumb to the father-in-law's will,
she herself begins to take the su-
perstitious road of belief and ques-
tions whether she is really hu-
man after all. Her husband, a
"progressive and Westernized" In-
dian, working hard in school to
become an educated man and
vaguely thinking of the day he
might flaunt his due inheritance,
weakly tries to oppose his fath-
er and make his wife run away
with him. But it is too late. All
of Bengal believes in the incar-
nation, chiefly because of the child
she brings out of an apparently
fatal coma. The young bride, half
in bewilderment about what has
happened and half in belief that
it has all happened because of her
godly powers, turns back to the
father-in-law.
Too late again, the son de-
cides to tell his father how wrong
the old man really is and to take
his wife away. A sick nephew dies
in the girl's arms, the stunned
house can't reconcile it and begins
to react to the "witch." And the
"witch" can only run-from the
demons she senses are infesting
her mad mind.
Beyond Freudian overtones, cri-
ticism of traditional Indian beliefs,
and sensitive commentary on 19th
century indolence, "Devi" is Sat-

By MARK SLOBIN
ONCE AGAIN 1965, a three-con-
cert weekend of unusual and spec-
tacular music, dance, and theatre
will take place Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday evenings at 8:30 on
top of the Maynard Street park-
ing structure.
The show is being filmed by the
United States Information Agen-
cy from start to finish to be shown
overseas as part of a series on
"The Arts.,in America.",
ONCE AGAIN 1965 includes a
homegrown Ann' Arbor total thea-
tre piece scheduled by .the ONCE
group for its appearance, at the
Sao Paulo Bienal international
arts festival, to which the group
was invited as a representative
from the United States.
"Unmarked Interchange," slat-
ed for the opening concert Friday,
is a joint creation of many artists.
Architects Harold Borkin and Jo-
seph Wehrer have built a 20-foot,
three level scaffolding on which
the piece will be performed, and'
they will also take part in the per-
formance.
Borkin and Wehrer are nation-
ally prominent architects.
"Unmarked Interchange" will
present-live and filmed theatre ac-
tivities. The old-Fred Astaire-Gin-
ger Rogers-Irving Berlin movie
"Top Hat" will be projected
against the scaffolding when live,
cyclic events will be carried on
.continually behind and in front
of sliding drawers, louvers, and
panels.
Saturday night a group of danc-
ers from New York will present
"A Concert for Ann Arbor." Mem-
bers of the group, including paint-
er Robert Rauschenberg, former
long-distance runner Alex Hay,
Deborah Hay, Lucinda Childs,.
Steye Paxton, and' Trisha Brown,
formerly belonged to the Judson
Dance Group, most recently writ-
ten up in Saturday Review (Au-
gust 28 issue). The dancers will
present works of their own, which
are as distant from the traditional
concept of modern dance as they
are from ballet.
On Sunday evening, composer
John Cage and his longtime co-
worker David Tudor will present
the premiere performance of "Talk
I," a free-form lecture employing'
many different kinds of sound
and words. Cage's voice will pro-
vide live sound, manipulated in
various ways, while Tudor will
handle specially-built electronic
ecuipment'to produce a wide range
of musical activity.
die and consequently the entire
house will simply decay in baffle-
ment at the turn in events. The
plot is working in just that direc-
tion. But the mood conjures the
real climax, as the distraught
father-in-law sits before his idols
and incense and asks the gods
what his sin was.
The acting, naturally, since it is
a Ray film, is superb. The pho-
tography is beautiful and control-
led only as a director of Ray's
stature can make it. It is never
pedantic or fussy, capricious or
neurotic. It holds its images for
the proper time and effect and
then releases them.
For reasons I could only have
room to explain in a book, I pre-
fer his "Apu Trilogy" and one of
the stories from his "Two Daugh-
ters" over "Devi." But I think
that "Devi" will grow on me. Give
it a chance to grow on you by
making it to the Cinema Guild to-
night or tomorrow night.
