Good read

Comment on the product: I bought a used paperback version from one of the used/new sellers, which was in pretty good condition. Content: If you are a fan of Satyajit Ray or if you are planning to make your own first film, I would recommend this book. His account of the making of his first film is pretty impressive and inspiring. I did not get the same feeling about the other two films in the trilogy, as he seems to have made them relatively easily due to him being an established director by the time those were made.

ESSENTIAL FOR YOUNG FILMMAKER

Anybody who dreams making a film should read this book. Ray, the master filmmaker tells us how to get your dream into a reality with dedication and courage. Excellently edited by Mrs Bijoya Ray.
