Description

The first comprehensive study of men and masculinity in the cinema of Satyajit RayLinks Ray's male characters with India's national trajectory in its early post-independence yearsInterrogates the director's standing as a national filmmakerSituates Ray within post-colonial filmmaking and realist cinema traditionsSatyajit 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.
