Pather Panchali, a 1952 Bengali feature film by Satyajit Ray. I was floored by the artistes' performances especially the character Apu and her sister Durga. The movie is about an impoverished family set in 1920s Bengal. Satyajit Ray has done an awesome job. Took me so long to find the DVD and now I cannot stop replaying the scenes . The scenes were heart wrenching! It has been a long while since I watched a movie that had a simple story to tell yet keeping the scenes realistic.
I just need to get my hands on the other two of this Trilogy.
Why don't Indian film makers make such good movies anymore? Sighs.
