Page 3 - The Apu Trilogy_ Satyajit Ray and the Making of an Epic

‘Satyajit Ray has worked with humility and complete dedication;
he has gone down on his knees in the dust. And his picture has
the quality of intimate, unforgettable experience.’
—Lindsay Anderson on Pather Panchali, 1956

‘Though he’s very young still, he’s the Father of Indian Cinema.’
—Jean Renoir on Ray, 1967

‘Not to have seen the cinema of Ray means existing in the world
without seeing the sun or the moon.’
—Akira Kurosawa, 1975

‘Ray’s magic, the simple poetry of his images and their emotional
impact, will always stay with me.’
—Martin Scorsese, 1991
