The greatest thing I have ever purchased September 15, 2003
53 out of 57 found this review helpful
I have watched these films about 4 times each since I bought the trilogy only 3-4 weeks ago. I have never been so affected or moved by a piece of cinema or any art form I have experienced. There are dozens of scences that have stayed with me every day since seeing them, passing through my head whether on a bus, at work, whatever. The masterclass feature on the World of Apu, further highlights the genius of Ray & his crew. An absolutely fantastic piece of work that makes you want to share your experience with everyone.
 An amazing feat October 4, 2003

At first I was rather weary that these three wonderful movies were not exactly pristine as they are presented here. But itty-bitty objections like that pale when confronted with Ray's profoundly human, breathtakingly visual, uncompromisingly ambitious rendering of a small Indian boy growing up, losing his parents one after the other, coming of age, marrying and losing again, only to come into his own in the very last reel of the very last film. Amazing! Everybody connected with the first movie was an amateur with a lot he and she wanted to say, but by the last of the three, all were consummate professionals and among the very best storytellers in the world. The extras are all well worth watching.
Don't miss this! March 29, 2008

I have rarely been so enchanted by films as I have with these three masterpieces by Satyajit Ray.
To those with short attention spans and desire for non stop action and brainless entertainment, these films will probably bore, but for anyone who is fascinated by realism in cinema, by atmospheres and emotions and strong sensual stories and characters, then this is for you.
With beautiful music by Ravi Shankar, the three films tell the tragic yet also cathartic tales of the life of Apu, from his childhood onward. They are a fascinating insight into Indian life that one doesn;t get to see in the fntasy world of Bollywood.
Don't delay, buy this now and you will find yourself drawn back to watch them again and again...
Excellent - A Satyajit Ray Classic March 7, 2001

Based on the backdrop of WWII and the Bengal Famine, an excellent portrayal of the life and struggles of the people of Bengal through the eyes of a teenage boy. A masterpiece by Satyajit Ray.

Ray's trilogy is one of the most supreme accomplishments of cinema. This boxset has reasonable transfers of the film,is beautifully packed, and with satisfactory bonus material. Whether it will be bettered by other boxsets remain to be seen. My own feeling is that, such sets can easily go out of print,and then become dear and then get sold for ludicrous amounts. Why wait then.
