| Synopsis |
The director had never directed, the cameraman had never shot a scene, an unknown sitar player composed the soundtrack and the children in the leading roles hadn't even been tested. Yet, influenced by Italian neorealism, Satyajit Ray’s debut, with music from Ravi Shankar, captured a child’s view of the world so beautifully it scooped an award at Cannes and changed the way Indian cinema was viewed around the world. |
