Satyajit Ray - 1977
A pretty slow historical runthrough. Ray paints the self-obsession, inertia, petty intersquabbles of the people as the Brits march into the power vacuum. Ray doesn't ever collapse into unthinking SRS, moving around enough and there's some straight on work. Ray also, throughout his catalogue, likes filming people's backs. Also note the explicit narration, very unlike Ray, who usually rejects even autonomous camera movements.
I found it difficult to really get excited.
