Summary: Starting out as a fantasy mythological with the gods, entrenched in their fortress, deciding to create 100 jobs, the film becomes an exemplary fairy tale when 30,000 applicants start queuing up for work. The fairy tale then becomes a didactic tragedy with realist sequences (media men interviewing individuals in the crowd of applicants) when the people realise the job scheme is grossly inadequate and popular discontent grows into a desire to storm the citadel. Freely mixing different styles and modes of storytelling including direct address to the camera, with the chorus both as narrator and as political agitator (R. Ghosh, who also plays god and the sutradhara), Sen continues exploring the possibilities of a cinematic narrative that would be both enlightening and emotionally involving without descending into authoritarian sloganising. Having gone as far in this direction as he could, Sen deploys the lessons of his experiments with complex and stylistically diverse cinematic idioms in his next feature, Mrigaya (1976).
Release date: 13 December, 1974 (Globe, Sree, Indira)

Among the list of people and institutions acknowledged in 'Chorus' the ones particularly striking are the three newspapers 'The Statesman', 'Satyayug', and 'Amrita Bazar Patrika': The three had been exceptionally vocal in their criticism of Sen's agit-prop aesthetics in the Calcutta trilogy. In many ways it ironically foregrounds the curious nature of the film 'Chorus' as a continuation of the concerns of the trilogy, an invisible fourth, while at the same time moving away from the stark realism of the former films in favour of a satirical allegory. 'Chorus' serves to tie the various threads unraveled in the trilogy through a wistful narrative of a proletariat revolution, a curious retelling of the classic socialist dream of a revolution. The film, though commercially unsuccessful, won three National Awards that year including Best Film, the most recognition among all four of the Calcutta films.

The man continues to gesture and speak.
The element of fantasy is heightened by the choric episodes featuring actor Rabi Ghosh in a cameo. The musical interludes, exclusively under the aegis of Manna Dey, appear thrice and reinforce the history of poverty, oppression and violence that has been central to the trilogy. At the same time, the choric episodes comment on the events coming to pass, introducing the fantastical aspects of the city that has been constructed to symbolize the seat of the ruling class. The song being sung is satirical, comparing the ruling class to the living gods who dictate everything on earth through their power of wealth - the eulogy foregrounding the critique of oppression and inequality.

Elaborate sets by Khaled Chowdhury create the illusion of a timeless, feudal oligarchy, dispensing with gifts and punishment at leisure. But the fantasy is repeatedly ruptured by the three separate episodes within the main framework, and the still photos of the Bengal Famine, street violence, the oppressed and the destitute, and even from Mrinal Sen's own films, constantly bringing the focus back to the real/political.

"SITUATIONS VACANT" "USE PRESCRIBED FORMS TO APPLY" "TWO RUPEES PER FORM"
The film is a mix of the fantastic (the constructed set of the fictional metropolis) and the real (episodes shot on location that form the rest of the narrative). About the conception film, Mrinal Sen recollects: 'That was in early 1974, when, one day, on my way to Reserve Bank of India during the peak hour, I was struck with an unusual spectacle. An unending, serpentine line of men and women, young and not so young, were waiting patiently, unmoved. It was a huge queue, the like of which I did not see before. I forgot about my appointment at the bank and walked along the huge line of countless people, watching them, talking to them. I gathered they came from various districts to buy forms to apply for jobs. Jobs were just a few. I set aside my personal work and rushed to a friend of mine, Mohit Chattopadhyay – a college teacher and an eminent playwright, specializing in the theatre of the absurd. I told him about the spectacle and asked him, if he could collaborate with me on my next scrip. It could be a huge crowd of thirty thousand or the double of the number or more waiting for days for application forms to be collected from a particular counter of a well-protected fortress. Buying forms from a single counter or two, and depositing the same, Law and Order remaining dreadfully active all the time. And the situation could eventually come to such a pass that the applicants would turn violent and attack the impregnable fortress. The “Chairman” of the fortress would declare Emergency. Mohit Chattopadhyay gladly accepted my offer and we two began to work on a satirical fantasy and called it Chorus.' - (Always Being Born: Mrinal Sen, A Memoir’, Stellar Publishers Pvt Ltd., 2004)

The first episode concerns the young man seen in the previous scene. He is clearly from a peasant background; the first in the family seeking some way of mobility outside the rural. The one definitive instance of the rural and their possible role in the revolution had been the rice-smuggling episode from 'Calcutta 71'. Otherwise, the rural does not really factor within the matrix of the social revolution Sen has called for in the Calcutta trilogy; the lens has been trained firmly upon the middle class. In cloaking the propagandist tone in the garb of a satirical fantasy, Sen also develops a wistful narrative where the oppressed rural society will join the proletariat revolution. Interestingly, rice, and consequently, hunger, are defining factors in this episode much like the one in 'Calcutta 71'. In the latter, it was a way of survival and assertion of rights, while here it is tool of oppression used by the village landlord who hoards it, depriving countless others.

Hunger is inextricable from anger and violence in Mrinal Sen's cinematic world; we have seen striking examples of this in 'Baishey Shraban' (1960).

It is amply clear that not only is Mondal a hoarder, he is also a rice-smuggler. This is also reflected in his paranoia about being kept under watch by the villagers; his fears stem from his own anxiety about getting caught. At the same time, he also attempts to implicate other people in the nexus; he has just asked the boy to go 'underground' in the previous scene, a none too subtle way of dragging him into the business. The scene in the granary mimics this very suggestion; the boy crumbling under pressure and descending underground, both literally and figuratively. The descent is also marked by a change in his class position vis-a-vis the other man - he willingly accepts servitude in order to survive and starts calling Mondal 'babu' or 'master'. The new 'master', in turn, more firmly in control of the village economy now more than ever before, can move further up the class ladder and is shown entering the realm of representative politics.

He struggles to hold on to the sense of power that he feels entitled to; this is jeopardised by the disconnect that is evident at home (his wife has gone into labour and has been summarily packed off to the hospital). The marching song he sings when drunk is rendered heavy with tragic irony.

Text appears at the bottom of the frame: "30,000 can't be a lie. 30,000 is in our blood..." The man's expression shifts slightly, his mouth opening wider, revealing teeth that appear elongated or pointed. He continues to look upward.
The march of the proletariat in the end, where the 30, 000 are about to swell tenfold, assumes the garb of the carnivalesque, the spectacular - the guilty are punished, food and its rights are returned to the people, and there is complete breakdown of the bourgeois State machinery as the seat of power is abandoned. Mrinal Sen has remarked that he had wanted the end to be a 'collective fantasy' and 'collective emotion', a sort of popular chorus against forces of oppression. While one has constantly referred to the influence of Brechtian political theatre and the use of the theatrical for propaganda in Mrinal Sen, 'Chorus' is one of the most striking examples of Brecht's infleunce at play in its absurdist 'modern fantasy'. Right at the end of the sequence the march of the proletariat under the banner of the 30,000 is intercut with images and newsreel footages from actual strikes and processions; in the final minute or so, a chaotic juxtaposition of a series of images spliced together as the frenzy reaches a crescendo. Sen had regarded 'Chorus' as a 'cinematic experience', especially because of the wistful nature of the film, and the technical challenges associated with it. In fact, he recollects in his memoirs: 'One evening, an angry group came out of the city theatre and, identifying me at the foyer, rushed to me. They asked me if I could provide them with a subtitled print because the film was beyond their comprehension, the fantasy went over their heads. Such a reaction was not new to me, being so used to this encounter with sarcasm about my work. So, I took it all as part of the game. But I wondered why I kept in check a beautiful line, which Lindsay Anderson, the maker of the remarkable film, …If …had earlier told me. He asked me not to forget that “today’s fantasy would turn out to be tomorrow’s reality!” Lindsay was delightfully prophetic! So, I saw, here was my film, nowhere Lindsay Anderson’s. Countrywide Emergency was declared on June 26, 1975.' - (Always Being Born: Mrinal Sen, A Memoir’, Stellar Publishers Pvt Ltd., 2004)
