02/02/2022 Perfection on a level rarely seen in cinematic work. See more 06/13/2021 I found these three movies to be incredibly moving. Satyajit Ray and his crew had never made any movies before filming the first movie. Literally, Ray had never written or directed a movie, his cameraman had never filmed a movie, the score was written and performed by a musician unknown at the time (Ravi Shankar), and the actors were not professionals. Obviously this group of people was incredibly talented. These movies take you into its characters' world and keep you there through the life of its hero, Apu, from his early childhood into middle age. Filmed in the 50s and set in the 1920s-30s, these movies are exceptional. You can currently see all of them on HBO if you are a subscriber, and I strongly recommend them.

Standing above fashion, it creates a world so convincing that it becomes, for a time, another life we might have lived. The three films, which were made in India by Satyajit Ray between 1950 and 1959, swept the top prizes at Cannes, Venice and London, and created a new cinema for India--whose prolific film industry had traditionally stayed within the narrow confines of swashbuckling musical romances. Never before had one man had such a decisive impact on the films of his culture. I highly recommend this film trilogy. See more 02/07/2011 Masterful story telling with brilliant mise-en-scene. A must see! See more Read all reviews
