The second instalment in Satyajit
Ray's 'Apu' trilogy, 'Aparajito' won the Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion and confirmed Ray's status as a filmmaker
of international stature. After the de-
vastation of a family tragedy, Apu and
his parents move to the bustling city of Benares to build a new life.
When Apu's father dies, he decides to
pursue his education in Calcutta, but his
hunger for new experiences and
growing independence inevitably dis-
tances from his lonely widowed mother.

Ray's bittersweet tale, also based on a Bibhutibhushan Banerjee novel and featuring music by Ravi Shankar, was made just one year after 'Pather Panchali', and is every bit as compelling beautiful and moving. |
