Ravi Shankar, l'extraordinaire leçon follows Ravi Shankar and his daughter Anoushka to Paris where he gives a Masterclass in Karnatic and North Indian music to a packed-out audience..
There are many interviews with Ravi and Anoushka and other musicians [in english]; in fact ninety percent of the French version carries English audio with subtitles in French.
The viewers are also taken to Delhi to the Centre created by Ravi and his wife... He talks about his early days touring as a dancer with his brother and his decision to give up the high-life to become disciple to a Music Guru and spend 16 hours a day practising in simple surroundings
The documentary is equally focused on Anoushka who talks in details about her relationship with her father and Music Guru; it is a compelling piece of documentary work for anyone interested in Indian Music and Culture.
