S2 Episode 11: Satyajit Ray's Aranyer Din Ratri at 50 - with Amitava Nag
In conversation with independent film critic and author Amitava Nag on one of Satyajit Ray's magnificent films, Arranyer Din Ratri (1970). We reflect on one of my favorite films by Ray, as it turns 50 this year, discussing — scenes from the film, the craft behind the film, the strong women of the film, Sunil Gangopadhyay's novel, the film's place in Ray's oeuvre, influences on the film and the film's legacy. Guest Amitava Nag has authored Satyajit Ray's Heroes and Heroines, decoding Ray's unique ability in extracting superlative performances from his actors. Amitava has also hosted a wonderful series of video lectures on Ray's cinema on Youtube, titled: Ray@100 Video Lectures by Amitava Nag.Feedback/comments/questions: loveofcinemasf@gmail.comCredits:Concept: Himanshu (@loveofcinemasf8)Host: Himanshu Editor: Devika JoglekarMusic: Nakul Abhyankar Copyrights © Love of Cinema 2020 Support the show (https://www.paypal.me/LoveOfCinema)
