Satyajit Ray: Beyond the Frame

Describing Ray’s Creative ethos as ‘Polyphonic’ , this book is a beautiful narration of Ray’s multifaceted personality. Any single study of Ray can hardly do justice to the multiple aspects of his corpus, this book while recognizing Ray both as a film maker and a literary artist charts his progression from lyricism, through rebellion, cynicism and despair to reconciliation and faith. Simultaneously it aims at demystification of the prevalent image of Ray as as a transparent ‘Renaissance Genius’ and thus makes an attempt to resolve the seemingly inexplicable paradoxes and binaries that make up the contrapuntal layered ness of his work.
