1972 documentary film by Satyajit Ray

Documentary on director Satyajit Ray, featuring an extensive interview and clips from his films, and location shooting of his film "The Home and the World."

In 1932, on the occasion of Tagore's 70th birth anniversary, New Theatres, one of the prominent filmmaking studios, arranged the filming of Natir Puja - an adaptation of Tagore's poem Pujarini, which the poet had staged in 1927. This was the only time that Tagore was so closely associated with cinema with the screenplay being written under his guidance by nephew Dinendranath 'Dinu' Tagore and the master composing the background music, with students of Santiniketan acting in the film. Tagore not only directed this dance-drama shot over four days, but also played an important role in the film. Though the film in its entirety has been lost, a portion has been found and restored.
Over the years, close to a 100 films, more than half in Bengali, have been made on Tagore's works, making him one of the most adapted writers of all times. This number would have been bigger if many films had not been lost forever. Also many don't even mention Tagore. Adaptations of Tagore's work just don't seem to stop with many more projects being announced in the last few years, ever since Tagore's work came into public domain.
Rabindranath Tagore's contribution to cinema thus screams for a more serious attention from scholars of cinema, literature and history itself.

我想我喜欢的始终是那份像夏天一样炙热的感情。至于白船他们作为演员不可能永远只被这两个角色困住，当我看到预告的时候先是激动万分，随即有一点失落，因为我很难从现在这个英俊帅气的船身上找到闹闹的青涩和烂漫。那个小平头200斤大腿和基友们弹吉他唱歌的音乐社社长，长大了更帅气也更成熟了。这可能是成长的过程是不可逆的，所以我想算了船会长大，闹闹又何尝不是呢，能够现在发糖让我们怀念一下初心，怀念一下曾经追剧的欢乐时光也没什么不好。而白白深情的杏仁眼真的还是那个学生会秘书长啊～
