Failed Masculinities: The Men in Satyajit Ray's Films

Satyajit Ray belonged to a category of filmmakers and artists from newly independent countries whose work was used to define 'national culture'.

Failed Masculinities: The Men in Satyajit Ray's Films argues that a study of his films will give us a purchase on the moral trajectory of India in its first few decades of independence, particularly through examination of his male characters and their narratives. Films discussed by Sanyal include the Apu Trilogy, Shakha Prasakha, Ghare Baire and Kapurush.
