 | Often cited by critics as one of the best films ever made, Satyajit Ray's enchanting 1955 debut is a masterpiece of world cinema. Seen through the eyes of a young boy, Apu, the film observes a poor but loving Brahmin family in a Bengali village. |
When Apu's father leaves for the city to pursue his dream of becoming a playwright, his mother is left to take care of the family. Filmed in sensual, lyrical style, and with a haunting Ravi Shankar soundtrack, this film is alive with the sights and sounds of rural India and captures a sense of childlike wonderment that few films have bettered.
A guest speaker for this event will be announced on our website.
'One of the greatest pictures ever made.'
