Welcome to the 7th episode of our Trilogies series. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at the Back To The Future Trilogy. We are changing things up on these Trilogy episodes just slightly and we are going to be talking about our first non-American/Hollywood trilogy. This episode we will be taking you to the Bengal region of India to discuss and review the classic and influential trilogy: The Apu Trilogy directed by Satyajit Ray. One of the most influential filmmakers of all time. The films include Pather Panchali (Song of the Little Road), Aparajito (The Unvanquished), and Apur Sansar (The World of Apu) and they are based on two books written by Bibhutibhusan Banerjee. The films were shot over the course of five years with the same crew members. Pather Panchali was Ray's directorial debut.
On this episode, we do go into detail on these classic pieces of cinema from India, films very much inspired by Italian Neo-Realism and majority of the films have non-classically trained actors. We recommend you watch the films first before listening to this episode, if you haven't watched them already. We do go into spoilers. They are available on Blu-Ray and also on The Criterion Channel.
We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.
