Dear Krishnakali,

	Obviously you have gained access to the entire remastered series
of Ray's works that have toured the countyr over the last few months.  As
a projectionist at a theater where the series ran, I was able to see just
about all the films, chnronologically, over the duration of the series.  I
was struck on many levels--the colonial narrative that ran not so much in
each of the works, but between them, that is, the glaringly obvious change
in life-ways over the course of the works.  Living as a "guilty"
post-colonial, bourgois liberal became more and more of the central
question of each film.
	I would enjoy speaking of these films further, especially for what they 
have to teach me about Indian-national history as a whole, or non-Indian, 
non-nationally identified Bengali life-ways as well.  Maybe as 
importantly, I will ask, what must I unlearn from watching these films?

Thanks,
Jules David Tuyes
