The last Apu film, The World of Apu, resembles Siddhartha’s journey to find wisdom. I so hoped for a happy ending that I was crying in anticipation. It may be my favorite of the 3 but the first, Pather Panchali (The Song of the Road), is deeply moving as well. It’s portrait of motherhood is both tender and harsh as is all of our childhood memories of mom...
Almost all the actors are amateurs in neo-realism style.
I REALLY need to see this movie! Darlin will like it too! Maybe we’ll have a set of movie nights and have popcorn and hot chocolate!
