“Oh, yeah this one I love these, The Apu Trilogy. I think I've seen the first one and the last one. It's the same character through his life and he starts as a little boy and then him as an adult. You want to take it? Yes.”

Lav Diaz director

“Apu Trilogy by Satyajit Ray. It’s a whole universe about poverty, about struggle, about oppression. All those things.”

Lav Diaz

Sally Potter director

“I'm going to start with The Apu Trilogy. These are life-changing films that I've watched many times but you can't watch them too many times because they are themselves an Education in the compassionate gaze of the filmmaker.”

Sally Potter

Amir Naderi director

“Let me tell you about this. Of course Kurosawa in Japan long time ago, one time I have a chance to talk with him. He says anytime you get tired about life or something, he watched one of them from Satyajit Ray. If you like the film about yourself, about your life, about the people you know, about your family, about your heart, about what you lose what you get, and no matter what which country, which language, where, go with this. This is it.”

Amir Naderi

Nuri Bilge Ceylan director

“I put trilogy from Satyajit Ray. I can understand it maybe better because my childhood was not so far from this childhood. Great art.”
