Book Reviews of Satyajit Ray: The Inner Eye: The Biography of a Master Film-Maker
Book Review: A treasure of information!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot think of a more definitive biography than this one! The biography of a master filmmaker is of remarkable detail. Uncommon extras, from something as simple as a section on the maternal and paternal family tree to a page devoted to the pronounciation and origin of the name Satyajit Ray.
Another unusual detailed section is NOTES. The notes refer to a reference line or quote and it's source, publication and date. If the section refers to the Apu Trilogy, then any quotes are clearly identified. Another feature is the glossary of words taken from the book, the languages are Bengali and other Indian languages.
You will also get a complete Filmography and Bibliography, and the book includes a definitive index.
The biography begins with his early life 1921 to his life as a commercial artist and critic. What I believe to be his most famous work, The Apu Trilogy, is well documented and a synopsis is included.
There is plenty of insight into his others, The Music Room, The Goddess, Three Daughters, Kanchenjungha, The Expedition, The Big City, The Lonely Wife, The Coward, and The Hero, Calcutta Trilogy, Distant Thunder, Chess Players, and more.
And, there is more! This is a wonderful reference to one of the greatest movie directors in history. And, he is also a composer!
The version has been updated to cover his death in 1992 and the Ray legacy. A quote on the book from Films and Filming reads: 'A glorious book, a feast of research and insight'
If you haven't seen a Satyajit Ray film, do so and read about it here within 420 pages. ......MzRizz
