The original title is "Our Films, Their Films," and the original English book was published in 1976. The translator, Soyoko Morimoto, is a researcher of Indian English literature and taught at Tokai Gakuen University for many years. The contents are divided into "Part 1: In Indian Cinema" and "Part 2: World Cinema," and Part 2 includes titles such as "Akira Kurosawa" and "Impressions of Japan." Part 1 also includes the title "Songs and Indian Cinema," which discusses the secret of "singing Indian films," which Japanese people are somehow always fascinated by. Both are short essays, but the translator's writing is skillful, making them enjoyable to read. Therefore, this is a wonderful collection of essays that allows you to understand what kind of person Satyajit Ray was. Of course, many photos are included on the opening pages, starting with a full-length portrait of Satyajit Ray taken by the translator, and various film stills are also used. In short, reading this excellent essay, which also offers a glimpse into the secrets of Ray's filmmaking, will undoubtedly make readers love Satyajit Ray and want to see his various works.
