series Kelly Reichardt Selects: First Cow in Context
Directed by Satyajit Ray | 1955
With Subir Banerjee, Kanu Banerjee, Karuna Banerjee
The astonishing first film in Satyajit Ray’s landmark Apu Trilogy is a child’s-eye immersion into the world of a young boy growing up in rural Bengal as his family strains to stay together amid hard times. Blending documentary-like neorealism with breathtaking lyricism, Pather Panchali remains one of cinema’s most indelible evocations of childhood wonder and the intricate inner-workings of family life.
“I was introduced to Ray’s Apu Trilogy when I was at the Museum School in Boston. Whenever I’m in the process of planning a film, for one reason or another, Pather Panchali comes into play. The tone, the pacing, the economy of the shots, the environment. So much happens on the ground or close to the ground.”
—Kelly Reichardt
