With the release of Satyajit Ray’s debut, an eloquent, important new cinematic voice made itself heard all over the world. A depiction of rural Bengali life in a style inspired by Italian neorealism, this naturalistic but poetic evocation follows a number of years in the life of an Indian family. (MUBI)

Prioritize:
I am not very familiar with Indian cinema, but it is clear that it is not all just Bollywood. In the past, some truly interesting films were made there. This almost neorealist film, with a pace reminiscent of Japanese style, will strike you with its almost documentary depiction of poverty and relationships in a rural family.
