Satyajit Ray

Highest Rated: 100% The Stranger (1991)

Lowest Rated: 88% The Middleman (1976)

Birthday: May 2, 1921

Birthplace: Calcutta, West Bengal, British India

Satyajit Ray, India's only internationally renowned filmmaker, was born into a family prominent in Bengali arts and letters for fifteen generations. In 1940, after receiving his degree in science and economics, he attended Rabindranath Tagore's "world university" in rural Santiniketan. Tagore, the dominant figure in India's cultural renaissance, had a strong influence on Ray, whose humanist films reaffirm his Bengali heritage within a modern context.
