The eight film directors that form the corpus of this study are Ritwik Ghatak, Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Shyam Benegal, Govindan Aravindan, Buddhadeb Dasgupta and Govind Nihalani. The works of four other filmmakers - Mani Kaul, Kumar Shahni, Goutam Ghose and Ketan Mehta - who have made films comparable with the best, are discussed in the final chapter. The detailed filmography at the end of the book is a valuable addition for scholars of cinema studies and film aficionados.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The author's analysis of each filmmaker's work is detailed and critical and takes into account the likelihood that many readers will not have seen many of the films examined in this book. The objective of the book is not to decode each film or provide the right answers - only sensitive responses - and to promote an enhanced appreciation of Indian art cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eJohn W.
