The Rad Revival House visits the land of India for the very first time with a look at the legendary Satyajit Ray’s stunning debut film, PATHER PANCHALI!
Joining our discussion is host Professor Cesare Augusto’s old friend and fellow cinephile Sam B. Levy. Together, Cesare and Sam analyze what makes this black and white Indian cinematic pearl so special.
PATHER PANCHALI tells the tale of an impoverished family from the Bengali region of India in the turn of the century. Told from the eyes of the family’s youngest, a boy named Apu, the film surrounds the family’s regular lives and how they must endure difficult hardships caused by poverty, harsh weather, and the absence of their hard-working but distracted father. Cesare and Sam discuss Ray’s great direction, his eye for detail, and how he was able to generate a touching film with limited funds, for just his debut picture!
Aspiring filmmakers looking to make a film based out of a very simple story are encouraged to watch PATHER PANCHALI for true creative inspiration.
