Review of Pather Panchali (1955) by Sujit O — 22 Aug 2016
Beyond brilliant. It's masterclass. Standing besides the likes of AKira Kurosawa and being a known inspiration to one of the greatest Martin Scorsese, Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali is a true and powerful replication of life in the villages of India, a group of people which still comprise 70% of our population.
A very important film back in the day but more so now when westernization seems to be a driving force of todays generation. The complexity of each scene which still remains mostly 'no budget' is breathtaking and many of these features hold true for many Indian families today.
To the Indian its an important piece of cinema, to the world this is a gift that must be preserved for the coming ages.
