Satyajit Ray: A Film

Description

A fascinating exchange between two giants of Indian cinema, revealing the inner workings of Satyajit Ray's creative process and the vision that shaped world cinema. Two of Indian cinema's most acclaimed auteurs, Satyajit Ray and Shyam Benegal, come together in this intimate dialogue, offering a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a cinematic genius. Based on Benegal's 1985 documentary on Ray, this volume brings together the film's script, excerpts from extended interviews, and a remarkable collection of visual material showcasing Ray's work as a filmmaker, illustrator, designer, and writer. Through candid conversations, Ray reflects on his childhood and the philosophy behind his storytelling, providing an unparalleled look at his creative process. With one master filmmaker capturing another, the result is a deeply personal and layered portrait that moves beyond Ray's films to reveal the man behind the camera. Satyajit Ray: A Film is both a historical document and a celebration of artistic legacy; a rare opportunity to witness a dialogue between two legends shaping the course of Indian and global cinema.
