The Film Society of Lincoln Centre will celebrate India's greatest filmmaker and one of cinema's greatest auteurs Satyajit Ray with 'Long Shadows: The Late Work of Satyajit Ray.' Unspooling at the Walter Reade Theatre here from April 19 through April 26, the promised follow-up to the 2009 Satyajit Ray tribute, Long Shadows includes all the films made by Ray in the autumnal years of his career. Already an acknowledged giant of world cinema, Ray in these later works reveals a more meditative side: his brilliant powers of observation lead him to pare down his style, allowing his characters and the world to reveal themselves. Of special interest is 'The Home and the World', his final, wonderful adaptation of a work by his mentor, Rabindranath Tagore, as well as his final, luminous work, 'The Stranger', an extraordinary summing up of so much of Ray's worldview graced with a sensational lead performance by Utpal Dutt.
