#294 - Chaitanya Tamhane on The Disciple

Welcome to a special 58th New York Film Festival edition of the Film at Lincoln Center podcast. Today, NYFF programmer Florence Almozini is joined by director Chaitanya Tamhane to discuss The Disciple, the Indian filmmaker’s much-anticipated follow-up to Court. The Disciple is a finely crafted labor of love set in the world of Hindustani classical music, starring singer—and remarkable first-time actor—Aditya Modak as a man living in Mumbai who tries to follow in the footsteps of his father and become a maestro in the Khayal raag music tradition.
