2. Satyajit Ray - a complete retrospective
" With all due allowance, Ray achieved by himself what the French Nouvelle Vague was to generate as a group some time later. " Charles Tesson, Satyajit Ray (Éditions Cahiers du Cinéma)
An outstanding tribute to an outstanding film-maker! Of course, Satyajit Ray does not need to be discovered any more. Yet, although his name is well known, his films are not easily available on the big screen. This will be an opportunity to discover or rediscover the 37 fiction and documentary films made by the Bengali master - from Pather Panchali (1958) to Agantuk (1991), including the Apu trilogy.
