Filmmaker Christopher Nolan praises Satyajit Ray during a visit to the Criterion Closet. In remarks reported by NDTV, Nolan highlights Ray’s impact and describes “Pather Panchali” as a standout achievement. He says the film “blew my mind,” and also refers to it as “incredible.” The coverage centers on Nolan’s public appreciation for Ray’s work rather than any new film project or specific commentary on technique. Nolan’s comments place “Pather Panchali” in the context of his broader admiration for influential cinema, with Ray’s film singled out as particularly formative. Across the reports, the core message remains consistent: Nolan recognizes Ray’s storytelling and cinematic achievement, and he credits “Pather Panchali” with leaving a strong impression.
