Fine documentary film about the great Bengali director, Satyajit Ray, born in 1921, died in 1992. He is regarded as one of the greatest auteurs of 20th century cinema, from "The Apu Trilogy" in the 50's to his last film in 1991 "Agantuk" (The Stranger). He was also credited as designer, illustrator, writer (story and screenplay), and music composer.
Over the course of two years, beginning in 1981, filmmaker Shyam Benegal interviewed Satyajit Ray about his long career. The result was this 131-minute documentary, completed in 1984, which also features on-set footage from Ray's thirty-second film, "The Home and the World", family photographs, and extensive clips from his movies.
The internationaly acclaimed Indian master talks about his private life and films, and reconsiders his filmography, in 1984, time when his work is almost finished (he will make three films more). Ray speaks without concessions about life, hopes and desires, stops on the essential place of his mother in his motivations of artist, his division between literature, publicity, drawing and music… and cinema.
