Lecture/Screening class (3 hours)
Lecture by Mike Pogorzelski, Director of the Academy Film Archive.
Part three of Satyajit Ray's much–loved Apu Trilogy, The World of Apu features Soumitra Chatterjee (Charulata, The Elephant God, Distant Thunder, etc.) as the adult Apu. Having decided to become a writer, Apu becomes, quite by accident, a husband as well. When the bridegroom at a wedding he is attending suffers a prenuptial nervous breakdown, Apu is persuaded to replace him in order to save the bride's honor. “If Ray had made nothing but Apur Sansar he would go down in film history as one of the great directors. In essence the film is a love story so fresh and spontaneous that one feels Ray created it entirely out of his own spirit, as if it were the world’s first love story” (Pauline Kael).
Part of In Focus: The Role of Film Archives at the BAM/PFA.
Free gallery admission with same-day film ticket!
