Apu trilogy
Fifth is Indian director Satyajit Ray’s “Pather Panchali” (1955), “Aparajito” (1956) and “The World of Apu” (1959).
It follows Apu from childhood to adulthood in a poor village and, through education, marriage, and personal losses, reflects social change in India. Working largely with non-professional actors, Ray was influenced by Italian Neorealism and combines the hardships of everyday life with brief moments of happiness.
The ranking singles out “Pather Panchali,” which covers Apu’s childhood. “Pather Panchali” won the Best Human Document award at the Cannes Film Festival in France in 1956.
