Satyajit Ray, (1984) clip13

[fckofndie]

His eyes. His voice. His charisma. He is enormous. Holiness !!

[MyAmitr]

Sayajit Ray was not only a great director or writer but he was really a GENTLEMAN.

So well spoken,clear in words ,great observer and creative man. He was 6'2"

tall,knew only bengali and english and was a CHAIN SMOKER

@MyAmitr

Satyajit Ray was about 6 feet 5-6 feet six, about 1m 95 cm. A towering figure both physically and mentally.

Thank you for sharing !

Ray was certainly an erudite and a well spoken person.

He was also perhaps the best Indian filmmaker of all time and the only one perhaps who could be compared with stalwarts of world Cinema.

Having said that, he was more of a filmmaker's filmmaker rather than a filmmaker whose films could be enjoyed by people of all sensibilities, like Kubrick or Allen films.

Also, from this interview, he does not come across as a very humble person and seemed bit inaccessible/distant too.

@pahari75 this was a documentary made by nihlani...thats more like a biographical learning...and mebbe he seemed a lil distant bcos of his sophisticated nature...but thts who he was..and i know for a fact that he was very humble in nature..he made kamu mukherjee a part of his cast and later his crew just bcos he turned up one day on his door,knocked and pleaded for a role.

this was so inspirational ! thanks for uploading this video! i was looking for this video for a long time! thanks for adding on information on the greatest indian filmmaker of all time!

[xxxyyyzzzar]

This last shot did two things

1. It dawned upon me, that Satyajit Ray could atleast grin at times. When he says "Life pitched against death...irony" etc

2. I liked Shyam Benegal for the first time for the closing shot.

Thanks Mr. Benegal, Thanks uploader.

[sbbioman74]

a truck load of love to the person who uploaded this video. i had seen it in early childhood and had only memories. he is a genius! movie, painting, music, all sorts of writing!! how much time did he have in a day! 30 hours??

[Snatch786]

Thanks for posting :)

[sahanasingh]

My sincere thanks to the person who uploaded this entire documentary! I have been looking for this from years and no one knew where to get it from. Shyam Benegal must be credited for making such an insightful film about the greatest Indian filmmaker ever.

[junkhunk2003]

This great person really raised the level of film making to some extend that many great directors will feel jealous. Someone from hollywood can never imagine that Goopi Gayine Baghaba Bayine can be made with such low budget and not so well equipped infrastructure.

Thanks.

[johnnyleiwand]

Thank you very much for posting this....it was very inspirational.

[venkatkk]

thanks a million for this ..you're an angel ;)

[ashwanithakur]

His interviews\films are a must watch to understand filmmaking

[MyNazrul]

Mr. Roy is immortal figure in film industry.

Talented ever.

[venkatkk]

..thats Mr Ray..not Roy

[justawordaway]

It is same. Maybe it looks different in English due to different spelling but in Bengali they are both same with identical spellings.

[venkatkk]

..but how is it pronounced like the word ray as in ray of light in english or like roy as in say Troy..?

[justawordaway]

In Begali they are both spelled similar and pronounced as RAYE. Also it is important to note that his father's and grandfather's names are widely written as Sukumar Roy and Upendrakishore Roy. Some people also writes Ray as well. It is like saying Rama or Ram. Both are same when it comes to sanskrit.

[ashrafilm]

you think of greats such as welles, hitchcock, ozu, kurosawa, tarkovsky, murnau, chaplin, eisenstein, truffaut, godard, renoir, ford, hawkes, there's a very special place amongst the few best ever, and this man, Satyajit Ray up in the top 10 ever.

[vinaylex]

can you imagine any other international icon from india

[KHaLaF2255]

I can't thank you enough for uploading this rate interview, I am huge Satyajit fan and it was intersting hearing his own observations and remarks regarding his work.
