Review - Ray!
Ray
-Netflix
Satyajit Ray was a prolific movie maker and a gifted writer and it was after my school days that I had read his "My years with Apu" which had led me to watch his movies which I had found utterly boring then.
A definite time had to pass before I could fathom the value that Ray and his movies possessed. Kurusawa had a similar impact, but him, later!
When some modern production house wants to churn out short films out of Ray's short stories , they have to impart justice to the legend and at the same time make it sellable by contemporarising them so that they are likable and eligible by being lustfully devoured.
They have achieved that partially, I would say.
The four short stories slightly lean towards bizarre human values and their eccentricity , some are vengeful , some are pure guilt and dark humour , and one's outright stupid (spoiled by the stupid lead)
Having said all that , I'm going to say that it is definitely a must watch!
