(1959) Struggling writer Apu – now an adult and played by Ray’s perennial star Soumitra Chatterjee – ends up substituting in an arranged marriage with Sharmila Tagore – then 14, and a distant relative of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, an important Ray influence – but even as love comes, tragedy looms; but Apu finds in his son the promise of new life. “Rich and contemplative, and a great, convincing affirmation.” – Pauline Kael. “It is the kind of film one sees only once in a decade. Indisputably, it is one of the masterpieces of cinema.” – Pierre Marcabru. DCP. Approx. 105 min.
