| Brief Description: | The final part of Satyajit Ray's Apu trilogy, adapted from Bengali
writer B.B. Bandapaddhay's epic novel, is a poignant summing up of the
earlier films' themes and stylistic preoccupations. Its story traces
Apu's leap into adulthood, the consequences of his marriage and birth
of his first child. Ray's painterly use of landscape finds a poetry in
the incidental, loose textures of daily life. Music by Ravi Shankar.
With Soumitra Chatterjee (as Apu), Sharmila Tagore, Alok Chakravarty,
and Swapan Mukherji. Newly remastered. Bengali with English subtitles. |
