This week we wrap up our round of trilogies with an unexpected gem, The Apu Trilogy. Directed by Satyajit Ray in the 1950's, these films follow Apu, an indelible character, a free-spirited child in rural Bengal who matures into an adolescent urban student and finally a sensitive man of the world. We're joined by Tom Layman from the Talking Pictures Trivia podcast!
Open yourselves up to the world of black & white film and subtitles, and enjoy the cinematic triumph that is The Apu Trilogy.
