Not as purely cinematic as some of his greatest works, but Ray manages to invoke feelings of introspection as a movie star gets a reality check from strangers—and fans—he encounters on a train.

Ray’s third adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore’s work late on in his career is a quietly-composed and deliberately-paced tale about the intertwining of domestic and national affairs. 

Another extraordinary work by Ray, directed with a profound delicateness that translates into great performances and astonishing visual flourishes.  

An extraordinary masterpiece by the great Satyajit Ray that captures the clash between tradition and modernity in a deeply poetic, melancholic (and musical) way.

Ray’s powerful follow-up to ‘Pather Panchali’ has moments of exquisite emotional beauty and a deep sense of coming-to-terms with an ever-changing, sobering reality.

One of the greatest films of all-time from the legendary Satyajit Ray.
