Satyahit Ray represented Apu’s relationship with his mother not as it was portrayed in the book by Bibhutibhushan Bannerjee, but without the stereotypical mutual sweetness and devotion. It wasn’t well received at home. The rest of us were not as much invested in the myth of the idyllic lives of the poor.
Parasites and viruses are also welcome to the sacred waters. What can we believe in?
