Satyajit Ray on Cinema

 It isn’t the busi­ness of films to be con­struc­tive. My inten­tion is to present the sit­u­a­tion in a clear and hon­est way, and then let the audi­ence draw its own con­clu­sions. It’s enough if you can make peo­ple think and feel – clearly and hon­estly. That’s quite enough to do. It’s more than I can tackle.
