This week begins a three episode journey into International Films. We start with Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray and his directorial debut “Pather Panchali”. Adam and Ian discuss the lengths Ray went to get this film off of the ground, how gorgeous this film would have been in color, and the way HBO Max is killing the streaming game. It’s a slow, slice-of-life film that has ties to the same issues we face today, but do the guys at 1001 by 1 think it should be in the book? You’ll have to tune in to find out. Also, this week Ian recommends “Dark Waters” (available on Showtime) and Adam recommends “House of Games” (available for free on Tubi).
