Piece of gem from Mr Ray

" Memories And Experiences "

Film : Agantuk Direction - Music : Satyajit Ray Dop : Barun Raha Cast : Utpal Dutt Mamata Shankar

At the end only stories remain ! Sad to hear it was the last Film of great legendary Writer Director Auteur Mr #satyajitray ( he died on 23 April 1992 ) Has made the most intellectual, most thought provoking, it has to be said that all hi is movie's which compels us to question again and again. Agantuk explores the true identity of evey individual who are struggling to know the purpose of life.

Along with writing and Direction Mr Ray handled music too,think that's why he soulfully composed the tune for #rabindranathtagore #bajilokahanobeena And you will notice few dialogues told by him ! After his death in 1992 national film awards #agantuk won Best feature film and Best Direction and #mamtashankar won Special Jury award for her portrayal of #Anila !

Mr Ray's life time experiences speaks a lot about Technology Civilization Indian organised Caste Religion based politics and once he speaks through his Character After ages I come back to find a men pulling rikshaw and says about struggle I'm hesitate to use that word, I don't prefer to call it a struggle " it's nutrition for mind and muscles " and first step towards being able to read Humans.

#utpaldutt given his career best performance as the stranger who calls himself "Nemo" Mr No one ! Mr Ray said to his wife at the last day of shooting after the final shot was over threw up his hands in the air and announced " that's it , thats all there's. I don't have anything more to say ". It is philosophical film Which raises more questions than answers.
