It's fascinating to learn more about one of Ray's greatest influences. According to him -- due to the lack of footage of Tagore -- the documentary took an amount of work equal to three features. I'll certainly be looking further into his arts and philosophies.

A documentary by Satyajit Ray about the distinguished poet/novelist/painter/lyricist/activist. My only prior knowledge of Tagore was through Ray's adaptations of his work (Ghare-Baire, Teen Kanya, Charulata) but it was interesting to learn a little more. The early parts were the most compelling to me, especially the stagings of his operas. Some of the political stuff was kinda dull.
