Review of Aparajito (1956) by Jordan T — 28 Jan 2010
A very sweet coming-of-age tale that deals with Apu's adolescent years, and really drives home the message of change that occurs when you enter adulthood. Apu spends the first portion in Benares, and when his father dies, moves with his mother back to their village and supports her as a priest.
He goes to school and eventually sets off to college in Calcutta. The second in the trilogy it is a sweet ode to the time in our lives when things change, for better or worse. Apu's visits home from college are especially poignant in my life.
I thoroughly anticipate the final film.
