It's both obvious and elusive … Movie Info The Clay Bird takes place in the late '60s, in East Pakistan, on the eve of a violent revolution that created the independent state of Bangladesh. The Clay Bird movie reviews & Metacritic score: A young student is torn between the worlds of Hindu and Muslim religions in this Bangladeshi film directed by Tareque Masud. ''The Clay Bird'' was shown as part of last year's New Directors/New Films series. The earthy imagery is delicate while the drama is oddly elliptical, creating a lovely film of storybook images and parables.
