Not especially outstanding but very interesting nonetheless. Mukherjee's art is beautiful and his story probably deserves more than 20 minutes.

Another Ray documentary short about a notable Indian figure. In this case, Binode Behari Mukherjee, a master artist despite his failing vision. I found this to be the most compelling of Ray's docs, with a subject whose work I could relate to far more than Tagore or Balaswaraswati. Mukherjee's art is beautiful, even after he went completely blind. And Ray's score is wonderful, as always.
