Ebook: Satyajit Ray: An Anthology of Statements on Ray and by Ray (Film India Series)

A great deal has been written about Ray's work and art in Europe and North America. But the assessments are based mainly on some of the films released in the West. This is the first time that a complete retrospective of Ray is being shown anywhere in the world outside India. . . . The Retrospective should provide both an overview of his aesthetics and an insight into his world-view. This book is aimed at providing a perspective to his films and art. It is mainly based on reviews and writings in the West. . . Some reviews by Indian critics have also been included in order to provide a glimpse of the perception of Ray from within his own context.
