Hey. Movie Night is at my place tomorrow. We're gonna watch the 1955 film Pather Panchali, directed by Satyajit Ray. This is the first film in Ray's acclaimed "Apu Trilogy". We'll be watching a bootleg DVD that I ordered online because it is not currently in print in the States. Why did I pick this movie? Two reasons. One is that I have been wanting to see it for a while - many directors and critics hold it in very high regard so I want to see what all the fuss is about. Two is that if Cinematheque Houston is truly about "presenting significant films from around the world" then India, with the second-highest population of any country in the world, has been under-represented so far and I wanted to rectify that.
See you on Monday at 8 pm.
