I am sure there are numerous reviews that you'll get if you look it up.Reviews by experts on the movie.So I am not willing to nor try and critique this master piece of a movie.
All I can say is,if you love movies this is a must see.A perfect movie(though in his interview Mr Ray describes it to have a modifiable first half),this is one movie that will affect you.The pace,the place and the people are all haunting.
All the directors and actors who are in the industry must watch this movie and if they have not,they are in the wrong profession.The work of a master who has complete control over his art.
Though,the movie throughout is a visual and cultural treat there are some sequences that haunt me.One is the monsoon season.Where Durga dances in the rain.This is a scene I will not forget for long.One more director who uses rain to intensify the screen.
Then there is the scene where Durga chases Apu for the latter's act of appropriating the formers treasure of Silver paper to make a crown.The movie would have not been the same without Pandit Ravi Shankers music too.

Hallo....
I too enjoyed every bit of it..That Ammumma is too realistic...The movie just depicts real life...and not the 'the purposly stretched art-film'type...Didn't I also mention about the background music.....That adds a lot to the beauty of the film....
Did you notice the scene when the shower start off.Ray picturises the dog hurrying on to the varendah and shaking off the water from the body...I really wonder how he managed to capture that.
I think every scene in the movie is worth watching over and over again.....We are planning to buy a DVD of it if available.......

Janaki chechi,
Thannae..That ammumma,Chinobili Devi,was a forgotten stage actress I think.Adipoli.
