The World of Apu
The third film in famed Indian director Satyajit Ray’s beautiful humanistic, and intimate “Apu Trilogy” about the childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood of Apurba Roy, The World of Apu is the story of a poor young man ambitious to be a writer living on his own after having been stricken with a series of tragic losses throughout his young life. An invitation to a wedding changes everything. He finds love, loses it, and then must find a way to reclaim it. When it opened in New York City in 1960, Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote, “The cycle of life in India that film-maker Satyajit Ray determined to make graphic and poetic in an uncommon film trilogy is finally brought full circle in The World of Apu. Decades later, the late Roger Ebert described it as being “like a prayer, affirming that this is what the cinema can be, no matter how far in our cynicism we may stray.” (Unrated, 105 min.)
