Description:
Andrew Robinson's definitive biography of the great Bengali director Satyajit Ray traces Ray's early life and provides a rich context for his film-making career. Robinson provides a film-by-film analysis of Ray's oeuvre, which spanned almost every genre, from drama and documentaries to comedies, musicals and detective films, with chapters on films including The 'Apu' Trilogy, The Music Room, Charulata, Days and Nights in the Forest, The Chess Players and The Stranger. In a career spanning over thirty years, from the classic Pather Panchali in 1955 until his death in 1992, Ray won almost every major prize in cinema, including an Academy Award for lifetime achievement just before his death. Akira Kurosawa said of him ‘Not to have seen the cinema of Ray means existing in the world without seeing the sun or the moon’.Andrew Robinson draws on extensive interviews with Ray himself, his actors and collaborators, and a deep knowledge of Bengali culture. This new edition, published to mark the centenary of Ray's birth, includes a new assessment of Ray's life and legacy, as well as previously unpublished conversations between the author and Ray, and new images from the author's personal collection.
