Satyajit Ray is internationally acknowledged as one of the great masters of world cinema, with an artistic legacy that ranks as one of the most formidable in all of film history. Exceptionally versatile, his films covered almost every conceivable genre, winning him nearly every major cinema award – including an Oscar for lifetime achievement – as well as legions of admirers, among them Akira Kurosawa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, V.S. Naipaul and Martin Scorsese.

Meticulously restored from the original negatives and presented in high-definition for the first time in the UK, this collection serves as a fitting tribute to one of cinema’s most important figures.
