I have just finished Pather Panchali. To be honest, it took almost two weeks to watch it. Not only interruptions, but the shear poverty of the individuals--the family--is overwhelming. Each member exhibits their poverty and destitution in a different way. My favorite character is Durga, who gives and gives until she reaches the point where she is tired of not receiving.
I will forever remember this movie, and I hope to watch the other two parts of the trilogy.
I have to have this film in my collection. Movies that make you think and think again, and search your heart for answers that sometimes never come.
