In 1955, former advertiser, artist, and cineaste Satyajit Ray
burst on the international film scene with the poignant, powerful
Pather Panchali, an independently produced portrait of life in
rural India. Still his most famous film, this assured, evocative
work heralded the arrival of one of the greatest humanist directors
of modern cinema but remains only one facet of the director's
exploration of the Indian experience. Ray spent a career chronicling
the collision of tradition and modernism in urban and rural India
in all its complexity with a critical eye, a respectful dignity,
and one of the most lyrical visual styles in world cinema.
