A Real Reason to Love FilmDec 31, 2008
By Ronald Chase Sf Film
"Art & Film"
I saw the first film in the trilogy in my early twenties, and I've returned to the films again and again, never tiring of their truths and beauties. The story of how much Ray had to go through to finish the first film is a drama in itself--after mortgaging his house, exhausting his savings, the local government came to his rescue. His many fine films were never popular with large audiences and if you are not into masterpieces, or world cinema, this isn't for you. What makes this film so great? The story of a young Indian writer is taken through three stages--his childhood in a small village, his adolescence when the family moves to the city, and his adventures as a young writer independent from his family. It's the film's uncanny grip on humanity, the perfect casting, the moments of beauty and joy caught in ordinary life, and its visual integrity that make it so rare. Everyone has their own favorite images. Mine are the children discovering a train for the first time,the wedding party where the groom is discovered to be mad, the boy riding on his father's shoulders, the pages of the hero's novel showering down a hillside. Those images just touch the surface. In a recent showing to high school students, the third film, The World of Apu,left them in real tears--many were astounded that a film could leave them so moved. The films stand by themselves, but if you have the time, they are best seen in sequence. If you only have time with one, I would recommend The World of Apu because of its faster pace. The films move slowly, especially the first, Pather Pachali, so you'll need some patience.
There is no better portrait of rural Indian life to be found.

Excellent CD EditionSep 02, 2009
By Hegelian
After years of watching the APU trilogy on bad prints or wretched VHS tapes with undecipherable subtitles, this incarnation is a tremendous improvement. (Moreover, do not be concerned that these discs are not the right "region" for playing in the U.S.) As for the films themselves, they are magnificent creations worthy to take their place alongside the best films of Renoir, Carne and Visconti. Each film in the series is better than the last and each is replete with the truth and humanity of the greatest art. Here are some of the most emotionally charged and touching moments in the history of film. The window they provide on mid-20th century India is also invaluable.

perhaps my favorite filmAug 24, 2009
By trastevere

The Apu Trilogy is a miracle of grace, light, mystery, and humanity. If you love "Bicycle Thieves," "Rules of the Game," "Wild Strawberries," "Ikiru," or just plain life, this film is for you.

Great Human DramaSep 23, 2009
By Max-Factor
I purchased the Korean distribution DVD which is an excellent package, designed for Korean audiences but there are English subtitles and it's speed is easy to follow as I am a slow-pace reader.
Like the previous reviewers if you like Bergman and Renoir you have come to the right place. Director Satyajit Ray has to be Ingmar Bergman of Indian cinema - a very articulate and charismatic figure - explains in the Special Features section of Pather Panchali, the dialectical & linguistic barriers that prevented his films from reaching bigger audiences in India.
Pather Panchali - "Song Of The Little Road" is the oldest film in the trilogy from 1955 and very well preserved. Performances are excellent and like Bergman who introduced his audiences to the Swedish culture, Satyajit takes his audience to an Indian village and shows us a different perspective on human nature.
Panchali alone - which I think is a true masterpiece - is worth the price of the entire package. I am looking forward to watch the other films in the trilogy.

A world of poetry, sadness & magicSep 06, 2011
By Antonia Tejeda Barros
Satyajit Ray shows us here his genius and sensibility.
These three movies are masterpieces of the 20th century. They are delicate, powerful, magic and deep.
