Dir: Satyajit Ray
1966
****
In Nayak, Satyajit Ray explores the perils of success and being true to ones self through the journey (and an actual journey) of an actor. There is an undercurrent of 'Beware false idols about the film which is filmed and acted perfectly. The stand out scene has to be the fantastic dream sequence where our hero finds himself in mountains of money with many skeletons with telephones. And yes, It's as bonkers and brilliant as it sounds.
