Fine documentary film about the great Bengali director, Satyajit Ray, born in 1921, died in 1992. He is regarded as one of the greatest auteurs of 20th century cinema, from "The Apu Trilogy" in the 50's to his last film in 1991 "Agantuk" (The Stranger). He was also credited as writer (story and screenplay), and music composer.
The internationaly acclaimed Indian master talks about his private life and films, and reconsiders his filmography, in 1984, time when his work is almost finished (he will make three films more). Ray speaks without concessions about life, hopes and desires, stops on the essential place of his mother in his motivations of artist, his division between literature, publicity, drawing and music... and cinema.
The moments of interview are intersected with extracts from Ray's movies and shootings from the set of the film "Ghare-Baire" (Home and the World) (1984).
