Apur Sansar (1959)




This final installment in Satyajit Ray's Apu Trilogy follows Apu's life as an orphaned adult aspiring to be a writer.

This is the conclusion of the Apu trilogy depicting Apu's life as a young man. As to be expected this part centers on the topic of love, but the movie took me fully by surprise. It's a love story (and horrific tragedy) unlike any other you will find in cinema, and for a while I was sceptical that it would turn into love in any form at all. I won't mention too much, since I can only recommend to see it for yourself.

Halliwell****: "An emotional and satisfyingly moving conclusion a great artist experience."

Maltin***1/2: "Sadly poetic tale...Magnificently acted..."
