Lovely, beautiful filmmaking, if not as transcendent as I would hope. I knew going into it that this was the Apu trilogy, and I think I kept expecting Apu to play a larger role. It felt as though we were meant to see the film through his eyes, but that didn’t always come through. This is one I want to watch again with different expectations.

There are two main problems for me: There is very little plot and the music/sound annoys the crap out of me. It’s just not very engaging and I don’t understand what something like this is doing in the IMDb top 250.

Much has been written about Indian director Satyajit Ray, who is considered one of the finest directors of all time. Not just Indian cinema, but cinema whole. Many later directors said Ray directly influenced them, including Francis Ford Coppola, Christopher Nolan, and Akira Kurosawa. I don’t thin More
