The Most Celebrated Work of Satyajit Ray

The Apu Trilogy is the most celebrated work of Satyajit Ray, the greatest filmmaker ever to have emerged from Indian Cinema. The three films – each a masterpiece in its own right – are enormously touching in their simplicity, emotional sweep and visual beauty and established Ray in the pantheon of the world’s finest directors.

‘Pather Panchali’, Ray’s extraordinarily accomplished debut feature, begins the story of Apu, a young boy born into a poor but loving family in rural Bengal, and continues in ‘Aparajito’, when adolescence and his growing independence bring joy and sorrow.

‘The World of Apu’, the final and most profoundly moving chapter in the trilogy, encompasses the extremes of joy and despair, ultimately reaching a conclusion that is among the most uplifting and life-affirming in cinema.

Please note that two of the DVDs are labelled incorrectly. Pather Panchali and Aparajito have been transposed

What a crock of garbage. No car chases, no excitement. I thought this was gonna be like Bourne Ultimatum. Rubbish.

The best price and a prompt delivery.

Waited a long time (50 yrs) to see Pancha Panchali again and it was just as I remembered it. A beautiful lyrical film. together with 2 others is fantastic.

I've been waiting to see these films for such a long time and I was thrilled by the experience. For visitors from other planets, these are the films they should watch in advance of their visit, because they show what it is like to be human in all our grief and glory.A masterpiece! Though hardly the fault of the Guardian, ywo of ythe films were actually wrongly labelled - Pather Panchali and Aparajito were swopped - it didn't prevent my enjoyment at all.

Great value. However the title on two of the DVD's were transposed!

Lol, the DVDs were mislabelled, Pather Panchali was on Disc 2, Aparajito on Disc 1. Easy mistake to make, it's not like the names are in English or anything!

by Charlotte Williams on 12 Apr 2010 at 10:51

There are 3 DVDs in the set and two of them have the wrong names on (they have each other's names on) - so I'm not very pleased about that but wanted to watch them straight away so didn't send it back.
