Attention Bay area posters/lurkers!!!

They are showing some restored versions of Satyajit Ray's movies at the Pacific Film Archive (Berkeley) in May.

May 3: Company Limited, The Middleman May 4: The Expedition May 9: Pather Panchali May 10: The Music Room, Devi May 11: Aparajito, The World of Apu May 12: Charulata, The Big City May 16: Two Daughters; Monihara/Rabindranath Tagore

I highly recommend The Middleman, Devi, the Apu trilogy (Pather Panchali, Aparajito, The World of Apu), and Two Daughters.

I have never seen The Expedition, Company Limited, or Monihara/Rbindranath Tagore. However, I will say that I have never seen a mediocre black/white film by him. They're either good or stunning!

I will fight duels over the fact that this is one of the greatest directors that ever lived/directed & I promise you will never forget these films.

Go, if you get a chance.

Joanna
