Radha and Krishna (1959) [Short]

India (MIFF1960,Programme 12)
Director: J. S. Bhownagary

Among India's legends one of the most poetic is the story of Radha and Krishna. Krishna the cow-herd god - the divine Lover; Radha, the beautiful milk maid symbolising the Heart of Man yearning for the Infinite. Artists through the centuries have taken this legend and the film brings to life the allegory in a series of minature paintings and statues.
