3. Critical Analysis
A. Narrative Structure (Non-Linear, Fragmented)
Unlike mainstream Bengali cinema, Chatrak rejects the three-act structure. Scenes are long, static takes (some lasting 4-5 minutes). Dialogue is minimal; meaning is conveyed through spatial composition and ambient sound. The “188-minute” myth likely stems from the film’s slow, meditative pacing—viewers often perceive it as longer than its 98 minutes.
