	kamera.co.uk - film review - Pather Panchali directed by Satyajit Ray - reviewed by Yoram Allon
		Pather Panchali, released in 1955, is the first film of director Satyajit Ray's Apu trilogy.
		Pather Panchali, Ray's first foray into the film making world, was completed in 1955, and proceeded to win the top prize at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival.
		Pather Panchali starts slowly, but builds inexorably towards a powerful climax as we come to know, and empathize with, the characters.

	The World of Pather Panchali
		Anyone who has seen Pather Panchali knows that the film is an experience that sinks deep within and becomes a part of one’s being.
		Pather Panchali is about Harihar Ray, a traditional Brahmin priest in the village of Nischindipur, in Bengal, who is unable to maintain his family and eventually has to leave for Banares in search of a better life.
		The world of Pather Panchali as we receive it, derives its logic from the expressive rhythm of the portrayal of the village and people of Nischindipur.

	Artificial Eye -Pather Panchali- ART231
		'Pather Panchali' is the extraordinarily accomplished debut feature of Satyajit Ray, India's greatest film director and a member of the pantheon of the world's finest filmmakers.
		The first instalment in the 'Apu' trilogy (followed by 'Aparajito' and 'The World of Apu') the film is adapted from Bibhutibhushan Banerjee's 1929 novel and tells the story of Apu, a young boy born into a poor but loving family living in a rural Bengali village.
		Enormously touching in its simplicity, emotional sweep and visual beauty, 'Pather Panchali' was the first Indian film to achieve widespread international acclaim and established Ray as a master filmmaker.

		Pather Panchali was too daringly different to appeal immediately to an audience brought up on a diet of high-pitched family dramas.
		Pather Panchali drew rave notices for its imaginative photography, its lyrical poetry and its deep humanism.
		It wasn’t just the theme music that made Pather Panchali memorable.The sequence in the rain, wordless but for the 3-minute solo piece on the sitar in Raag Desh, was another stroke of inspiration.

	PATHER PANCHALI + THE WORLD OF APU - DVDs
		When I first saw Pather Panchali, I was put off by its meandering structure: as it seemed to lack the tight thematic focus I associate with great filmmaking, I grew impatient with its episodic approach to the narrative.
		In a sense, Pather Panchali is about the silence of God as much as any Bergman opus, and as Apu's family weathers their various storms, it values personal strength over appeals to higher authorities.
		Pather Panchali's fullscreen disc uses a source best described as less-than-optimal: scratches are fairly constant throughout the film, with one scene practically jittering off the sprockets; as far as the transfer is concerned, it gets by with reasonable sharpness, though shadow detail is slightly poor.

	Pather Panchali
		So in Pather Panchali the structure of the centre as we have witnessed hierarchised with the Promethean theme/suggestions for social change in rural Bengal and the reversal of the hierarchy deployed as suggestions for social change in rural Bengal/ Promethean theme.
		The unfocused centre of Pather Panchali is non-visible with the co-existence of art/ poverty in its nucleus.
		The signs inherent in the frames, consists of images/ archetypes and music and sound or the similes, metaphors, synecdoche etc. produced by images and sounds to keep the characters and spectators in the thematic motion of the film or the continuous moving process of signification are complex and differential.

	Pather Panchali—An Intensely Personal Review at Random Thoughts of a Demented Mind
		If there is something at the heart of Pather Panchali, it is this overwhelming power of life that asserts itself even in the face of poverty, misery and death.
		“Pather Panchali” has its critics not the least of whom were gentle white folk who got up midscreening in New York because they were repulsed seeing people eating with their fingers.
		My favorite “Pather Panchali” moment is when after Durga’s death, Apu throws the necklace which she stole (and whose hiding spot only Apu knew) into the pond and the lotus leaves cover up the place where the necklace enters the water— the burial of a small secret memory in collusion with Nature.

	Pather Panchali (1955) - A Review by David Nusair
		The camerawork isn't perfect and the acting is occasionally mediocre, but Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali is nevertheless a compelling and surprisingly moving tale of a poor family trying to get by.
		Ray, who also wrote the script, funded the majority of Pather Panchali with his own money and cast his family and friends in pivotal roles.
		Pather Panchali moves at an incredibly slow pace, but the film never becomes boring - although Ray might've been well advised to cut down the running time (at over two hours, there are a number of sequences that go on longer than necessary).

	Jabberwock: Notes on Ray (Rai?) films 1: Pather Panchali (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Pather Panchali: Ray’s first film, still his best known (in both India and the West) and cited on many lists/polls as the Best Indian Film Ever Made - all of which has inevitably led to a trend of revisionism where we are repeatedly assured that it isn’t really his best.
		But here’s my take on Pather Panchali, and naturally it’s a personal one: it’s among a very select band of films that I just couldn’t tear my eyes away from, at least the first couple of times I saw it.

	Review on Pather Panchali - Movie by sheermelody on MouthShut.com
		The last time I saw Pather Panchali was when I was twelve years old, and needless to say, the beauty of the film failed to impress me, child that I was.
		Pather Panchali is a deeply moving film, and possibly a film which defined the neo-realist movement in India.
		Aparajito and Apur Sansar were two extremely likeable films, but somehow, what made Pather Panchali special, was it’s rustic beauty, the rawness in the treatment, the directness in the finishing touches.

	Pather Panchali (1955)
		Outwardly a reassuringly peaceful reflection of one Brahman family, Pather Panchali calmly demonstrates the fragility of this serene illusion.
		Its essence lies entirely in the domain of the Ray family; the incidents from which their lives are composed form the tapestry of the story.
		Disregarding this consideration, the ensemble acting in Pather Panchali is superb, with it there are scarce words to describe the quiet power invoked.

	The unsung verses of Pather Panchali, by Dhritiman Chaterji - Satyajit Ray Film and Study Collection, UCSC
		One of the most perceptive comments about the film was made by one of our most perceptive film critics, Chidananda Das Gupta, in a 1981 article: "For all the sensation Pather Panchali caused at the time, it had done apparently no more than transfer the values of other contemporary arts to the cinema.
		Pather Panchali was in many ways a product of its times, born in a particular social, political and artistic context.

		Satyajit Ray’s debut feature, Pather Panchali (1955) is the complex study of why families are forced to migrate for better life and better opportunities.
		Pather Panchali is first part of this series portraying rural life and takes viewers straight into ancient world of simple life where freshly picked fruits are invaluable commodities.
		Take a look at the scene where aunt is walking slowly when Durga’s mother scold her for teaching bad habits to Durga and later same aunt walks fast paced when she leaves the house (surprisingly watching aunts fighting for her rights are the funny moments of the movie).
