Thoughts on Satyajit Ray movies? Any favs or ones you think are overrated? Any favorite (or loathed) regional Indian cinema-ollywoods?

the apu trilogy is essential watching, it’s embarassing for everyone who loves cinema who hasn’t seen it. I sympathize, it was hard to get Ray when I was a kid too, it hasn’t been for a decade. I saw a screening of it a few years ago and the only other people in the theatre were two white women who left after 40 minutes because there were no songs. They said this out loud

I love his adaptation of Enemy of the People, the Ibsen play. The Chess Players is great also. He’s basically entirely worth investigating

ahhh…my diaspora flicks are DDLJ and Anniyan. DDLJ I hate but is fun and I work off a lot, Anniyan is demonry

So I was relistening to my copy of AML and when I hit Chapter 18, I noticed that the plot of a certain Roman Tract sounded… very familiar. A plucky young reporter caught spying and punished by an evil lord? Somehow reminiscent of some people I’ve heard of somewhere, I think. (Similar to the scene in ART where they playact the pornography, though that one’s more overt.) How far in advance do you plan out these in-universe parallels, and how much fun do you have doing it? (PS These are some of the best books I’ve read in the last two years. Thank you for sharing your work.)

(anon who previously wrote in about the Roman Tract in ch18 of AML) Wait. WAIT. Is “In The Dark Duke’s Dungeon” the tract about the reporter and the evil lord? Is that the one Ross taunted Hawthorn with? Did he seriously flip through it, see “heroic reporter gets captured and fucked by sinister aristocrat”, and go “Yeah this seems like the one I should read out loud to piss off this snobby asshole baron”?! Oh my GOD.

some of the in-universe parallels were intended from the very beginning, but many of them simply arose in drafting and then were carefully tweaked and polished in revisions. APU will contain a lot of references and callbacks and interweavings of things from back in AML, because why write a trilogy if you aren't going to make a glorious tangled tapestry of it?

and haaaaaaa ok no, the one entitled 'the dark duke's dungeon' is a different tract (what can I say, there are plenty of evil dukes in this particular series of erotica!). never fear, there will DEFINITELY be payoff in APU when it comes to all of ross's pornography-related mockery and button-pressing. I promise.

I’m not the best film critic or anything but like holy moly I started watching Satyajit Ray’s apu trilogy and I am in awe of the shots, the beauty and how subtle emotion was represented in the first movie.

Currently watching the second movie in the trilogy, “Aparajito” and first shots give me a nostalgic happiness for some reason. (Which is probably because I visited this place in my childhood)

Well anyways that’s all I have to say so far, the movies are on prime and it’s black and white, still really good
