Cinema and Universality -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Select Bibliography -- IndexAlthough revered as one of the world's great filmmakers, the Indian director Satyajit Ray is described either in narrowly nationalistic terms or as an artist whose critique of modernity is largely derived from European ideas. Rarely is he seen as an influential modernist in his own right whose contributions to world cinema remain unsurpassed. In this benchmark study, Keya Ganguly situates Ray's work within the internationalist spirit of the twentieth century, arguing that his film experiments revive the category of political or "committed" art. She suggests that in their depictions of Indian life, Ray's films intimate the sense of a radical future and document the capacity of the image to conceptualize a different world glimpsed in the remnants of a disappearing past.Motion picture producers and directorsIndiaBiographyElectronic books.Motion picture producers and directors791.4312/33092Ganguly Keya859024MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459436303321Cinema, emergence, and the films of Satyajit Ray2483510UNINA
