"As deeply beautiful and plainly poetic as any movie ever made. Rare and exquisite" (Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, LA Weekly, stolen from video cover). I can't describe this timeless film any better than that...

I don't know how to put the experience of watching a satyajit ray movie in words yet; it's so tender in its portrayal, so simplistic in its depiction that sometimes no words or even obvious actions are required to sense the underlying emotions that are so very vivid.

The first in a trilogy chronicling the life of an Indian man from boyhood to manhood, "Panchali" explores Apu's lower-class situation in Bengali along with all of life's hard knocks. The world in which Apu lives bears a striking resemblance to my own childhood experience - the smells, sounds, and freedom of living in a rural village -- admittedly, this is one of the reasons it lured me in so well. Simplistic in its mission, it introduces us to a family of characters (two of the child actors giving unusually poignant performances) and examines their life and hardships in a poor village. Easily one of the most unpretentious and touching films humankind has made. Its sequels are equally arresting and difficult to come by.

The film is certainly a masterpiece. The film is overwhelmingly real and the key element in the movie is the maintenance of this realism. The characters are so true to the ethnic rural-sixties Indian existence that one is compelled to wonder if the film was captured through surveillance cameras. Possibly the best film ever made about childhood. A song for a long road ahead.
