Filmmaker and human rights activist, Davlat Khudonazarov speaks about the cinema of the legendary Indian director Satyajit Ray and its universality.
Davlat Khudonazarov sees a “dewdrop just outside his house, a dewdrop on a little blade of grass, a dewdrop which reflects in its convexity the whole universe”, the dewdrop of Rabindranath Tagore’s poem written for the young Satyajit Ray. Film critics observe a connection between the simple human settings of Khudonazarov’s films and Ray’s poignant depictions. As for the Tajik filmmaker himself, he considers the Bengali director a master auteur, an Ustad.
