Reviews

“Beautiful, sometimes funny, and full of love, it brought a new vision of India to the screen.”
– Pauline Kael

“A triumph of mood and character rather than an exercise in brisk Western storytelling.”
– Jonathan Rosenbaum

“A hymn to curiosity, courage and conscience it introduces Apu as an opening eye, innocent of adult anxieties but alert to adventure and, finally moral discovery. Ravi Shankar’s music is great, too. A masterpiece, inarguably.”
– Geoff Andrew, Time Out (London)
