It is in the Bengal language/dialect with a little English interspersed.

Are there subtitles??? I did a search on the Apu Trilogy and came up with the thumbs up Ebert review:

Abu Trilogy also appears on Amazon.com, so is obtainable.
Yes. I don’t speak Bengali, lol! 3 movies following the family of Apu. It’s very much a foreign movie: longish, a bit slow, very little ‘excitement’ and no violence or sex - just a wonderful study of the human condition. No matter where we are on the planet, we all have the same problems.
We taped it off TMC last month.
