This edition presents the complete film scripts of the three masterpieces, along with an expansive interview with Ray by filmmaker Shyam Bengal, in which Ray talks about early influences, the experience of making the Apu Trilogy, the importance of music, and the portrayal of women in his film as well as other aspects of his craft. Richly illustrated with production stills and numerous sketches by Ray, this volume celebrates a milestone in international cinema and forms an essential document for film enthusiasts across the world.
Both Pather Panchali and Aparajito are largely the work of amateurs as far as the externals of technique are concerned. Both films came to inordinate lengths when first edited, and had to be whittled down, sometimes leading to the omission of entire scenes. By the time of Apu Sansar, we had acquired a certain amount of professional competence. The script here was tighter, and so was the shooting. As a result, nothing was found to be redundant at the time of cutting.
