A Journey
If there is suspension of disbelief, the Apu Trilogy joins art and life; inseparable. This is rare. Satyajit Ray is an alchemist, breathing souls into characters, giving them life to share. By the trilogy's end, we are changed. Somehow, through flickering of shadow and light, music of Ravi Shankar, images of Subrata Mitra and the perfection of the players, a single element is born: life. This is its story. Brilliant.
