I...You have seen everything he directed ?? Wow !! <br /><br />It was almost impossible not to enjoy Apu movies, they are so powerful. I am sort of ashamed that I saw him movies so late. But better late than never. Mahanagar has been on my radar for some time and now I will also make note of Charulata.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment !!SDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331736603243732602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-41396791190163593602012-05-09T12:19:17.878-04:002012-05-09T12:19:17.878-04:00Glad you enjoyed these!

I hope this encourages you to check out more of his work. I've seen everything he's directed and there are very few that aren't worth seeing. I highly, highly recommend MAHANAGAR and CHARULATA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-71333064919752358902012-05-06T22:16:34.317-04:002012-05-06T22:16:34.317-04:00To tell you the truth, I have no Idea how to reply...To tell you the truth, I have no Idea how to reply to this.<br /><br />I actually saw Patang in the List of movies at Eberfest and checked it out immediately but I did not know any of the cast and crew. None of them have made it big yet, at least not on National level. So, most of them were there because of their personal passion for cinema, not because it's part of job. Even though there definitely is the cultural factor to it, I think this might be bigger reason for what you observed.<br /><br />Good observation though Sam !!SDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331736603243732602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-28318338512727737792012-05-06T22:15:29.912-04:002012-05-06T22:15:29.912-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.SDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331736603243732602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996842231848527441.post-33859204028811538572012-05-05T14:28:50.786-04:002012-05-05T14:28:50.786-04:00So my comment has nothing to do with the films you...So my comment has nothing to do with the films you're talking of, but to do with indeed Indian cinema.<br /><br />When I attended Ebertfest an Indian film called PATANG played. It will be released in the next couple of months.<br /><br />While I didn't care much for the film, a lot of the cast and the director/writer came onto the stage afterwards for a Q & A. It was truly something special. There was a real sense of pride in their work that you sometimes miss in American born films.<br /><br />The cast shared a bond, a sort of unification that this film had brought together. <br /><br />I just found that incredibly interesting - perhaps it's a cultural thing, but it was nice to see.Sam Fragosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974858608988634583noreply@blogger.com
