*About _The Apu Trilogy_*
A breathtaking milestone that brought India into the golden age of international art-house film, Satyajit Ray’s _The Apu Trilogy_ follows 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. Ray’s delicate masterworks — _Pather Panchali,_ _Aparajito,_ and _Apur Sansar_ — 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. These films—which have risen from the ashes in meticulously reconstructed restorations, after the original negatives were burned in a fire—are among the most achingly beautiful, richly humane movies ever made.
