Tonight we're watching the #CriterionCollection edition of #SatyajitRay's 1956 film #Aparajito (The Unvanquished) which is the second in his Apu Trilogy following the life and times of Apu Roy in the 1920's and 1930's.

In this film, Apu's family has moved from the small rural village to the holy city of Varanasi where his father earns a living as a sort of priestly busker on the steps of the Ganges.

We follow Apu's life through adolescence and college.

Another great score by #RaviShankar.

This weekend I watched the beautifully restored #films from Satyajit Ray’s “Apu Trilogy”. These are some of the finest movies I’ve ever seen. Such a wonderful restoration effort was made to the originals which were destroyed in a fire in 1993. Strongly recommend checking these out. #movies #Criterion #PatherPanchali #Aparajito #ApurSansar
