A Portrayal of Life

Satyajit Ray’s portrayal of life in 20th century India has captivated many Indians like myself who live abroad. Reading an article with a slideshow in the New York Times today reminded me of my admiration for Ray’s stories, scripts and characters. From “Pather Panchali” to “Shatranj Ke Khilari”, his films emphasize a refreshing realism.

Ray’s work is on display in “First Light: Satyajit Ray From the Apu Trilogy to the Calcutta Trilogy” at the Film Society of New York’s Lincoln Center this month from April 15-30.
