Description
Two decades after its original negatives were burned in a fire, Satyajit Ray's breathtaking milestone of world cinema rises from the ashes in a meticulously reconstructed new restoration of a family saga. Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road) follows a poor Bengali family living in a village. The boy Apu's development grows as he witnesses the protection of family members' reputations, the relationship of the family group to an elderly 'aunt', and the first confrontations with death. His father's dreams prevail over the objections of his mother so that at the end of the film the family moves to the big city of Benares. Aparajito (The Unvanquished) follows Apu and his encounter with the school system in Benares, and later with the intellectual life at university in Calcutta. Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) shows Apu drawn into marriage out of regard for friendship and for Hindu custom, but ending in his realization of his deep love for his wife. They experience happiness together for one year, until she dies in childbirth and he is left desolate, the stricken father of an unwanted child.
