Exibido em:: Jun 03, 1988

'The really crucial moments in a film should be wordless, should be done through the camera. It's easy to use words, too easy ... what sticks in the mind is cinematic method. ' Satyajit Ray has been regarded as one of the masters of world cinema ever since his very first film Pather Panchali astounded the jury of the Cannes Film Festival in 1956. In India. however, his films are virtually unknown outside his home state of Bengal. After a career in which he has made more than 20 major films, Ray now lives in semi-retirement in Calcutta. From there he spoke to Omnibus about a distinguished life in cinema, as writer, director, composer, camera operator, and designer on his own powerful and compassionate films.
