I feel like this is never coming at this point. I can’t imagine what the hold-up would be and it’s been almost 5 years since its release.

Another one I feel is never coming, but wow do I dream of a “The Complete Arguments of Paul Dedalus” box set.

Neither of them was shown at the Satyajit Ray retrospective in New York City some years ago. Chances of Criterion undertaking restoration of either of these films seems to me to be remote.

Such a shame, as it’s one of THE great hidden gems on Netflix and they keep wanting to include more films from women of color

I’m glad to know I’m not the only person who thinks this. And it’s not even the documentary itself as the footage from the original shoot showed real talent from a visual perspective. Great unsung film.

All of Ray’s films have been restored or at least safely preserved by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. I saw a beautiful new 35mm print of The Adversary at TIFF some years back. Many of his films look great despite having very poor original materials, although some, like Kanchenjungha, still look pretty dire

It was screened in conjunction with her short film Gourmet Baby, which would have been an incredible supplement.

In that case someone should release "Complete Works of Satyajit Ray" with the same care that Criterion gave the Ingmar Bergman set. It is a crime that so many great works of Ray languish.
