The Apu Trilogy brought India into the golden age of international art-house film, following one indelible character, a free-spirited child in rural Bengal who matures into an adolescent urban student and finally a sensitive man of the world. These delicate masterworks—Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road), Aparajito (The Unvanquished), and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu)—based on two books by Bibhutibhusan Banerjee, were shot over the course of five years, and each stands on its own as a tender, visually radiant journey. They are among the most achingly beautiful, richly humane movies ever made—essential works for any film lover. PATHER PANCHALI The release in 1955 of Satyajit Ray’s debut, Pather Panchali, introduced to the world an eloquent and important new cinematic voice. A depiction of rural Bengali life in a style inspired by Italian neorealism, this naturalistic but poetic evocation of a number of years in the life of a family introduces us to both little Apu and, just as essentially, the women who will help shape him: his independent older sister, Durga; his harried mother, Sarbajaya, who, with her husband away, must hold the family together; and his kindly and mischievous elderly “auntie,” Indir—vivid, multifaceted characters all. With resplendent photography informed by its young protagonist’s perpetual sense of discovery, the Cannes-awarded Pather Panchali is an immersive cinematic experience and a film of elemental power. APARAJITO Satyajit Ray had not planned to make a sequel to Pather Panchali, but after the film’s international success, he decided to continue Apu’s narrative. Aparajito picks up where the first film leaves off, with Apu and his family having moved away from the country to live in the bustling holy city of Varanasi (then kn... Review: Great film trilogy - I had actually got this collection of three films a good while ago, but were definitely worth watching. I had heard of the director, and since the films were expertly restored, thought I’d give them a look. I don’t usually watch a great many foreign films, especially ones lauded by critics and/ or highly regarded film directors. I could never see the appeal of films like Fellini’s Eight and a Half, or Francois Truffaut’s Jules et Jim. I like the not-as-well-praised Through a Glass Darkly, by Ingmar Bergman, or more modern, stylised thrillers like Luc Besson’s Nikita; or even more recent French film, Portrait Of A Lady On Fire. I guess I prefer well-shot movies, but also more atmospheric movies, than the seemingly more intellectual stuff by which movie critics wax lyrical. And so it was with some apprehension that I ventured towards the Apu Trilogy (Pather Panchali; Aparajito; and Apur Sansar) by Satyajit Ray. It’s a while since I watched all three films, but hope to give them all another look soon. Review: Great transfer for a unique point of view about life - For the moment, i saw the first movie only. It's difficult to describe how much it talks to our hearts, just by showing little things of human life, happiness and sadness. It's about the relashionship between the different members in a village and especially in a family and what's really important or not, but it comes very far above the facts themselves. It's serious and tragic but tender and never boring. It's not just a picture of the society, even if society is described by a certain way in the movie. It's more about human condition in general. So you have to see it. It' a real poetic experience. Never seen something like that and it's not due only to the fact it's from india. About the blu ray, considering the original material burnt by the past, this transfer is a miracle, with well balanced contrast and precision, a gorgeous black and white like old movies lovers like so much. At the very beginning, you see a few dust and thin stripes, sometimes the black is a little less black, but nothing able to ruin these good moments. Not perfect but stunning. You can find some information and videos about this movies restoration on the web to discover the incredible work process witch gave this result. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B084WC2HKT | | Best Sellers Rank | 11,200 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 1,835 in Box Sets (DVD & Blu-ray) 3,889 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) 4,262 in Blu-ray | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (81) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | Hindi | | Manufacturer reference | PCduoduo-139 | | Media Format | Blu-ray, PAL | | Number of discs | 3 | | Product Dimensions | 4 x 4 x 1 cm; 100 g | | Rated | Universal, suitable for all | | Release date | 25 May 2020 | | Run time | 341 minutes | | Studio | Spirit Entertainment | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray, PAL - **Genre:** drama - **Language:** Hindi - **Runtime:** 341 minutes - **Studio:** Sony Pictures Home Ent. ## Images ![The Apu Trilogy (Criterion Collection) UK Only - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DonVnMjGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great film trilogy *by S***E on 21 July 2024* I had actually got this collection of three films a good while ago, but were definitely worth watching.

I am absolutely in awe of this restoration. Apart from a few scences, the films sparkle in all the glory-I am sure-Ray had intended. The audio is clear:Shankar's melodies soar, and the subtitling is near perfect. The supplements supply information that would give you insight into the hardships Ray faced raising finances, finishing the film etc. If you love films in general and want to take a break from CGI and special effects, there is a treasure waiting here.
