It's been many years since I last saw it, but I remember the first film in particular as being wonderful, yes. Hopeful and sad and luminously shot.

I'm very proud to say we did show that in the Google Cinema Club, and in fact we had a professor from UCSC who specializes in Ray films come and show it and answer questions. He knew Ray personally.

If you wanna go by metrics, all movies in the trilogy are rated above 4.0 with more than 50,000 votes combined on letterboxd. Also they got beautiful remasters from criterion films.

It’s a classic series of Bengali films, widely adored.

yes, but 'Distant Thunder' is my favorite from the same director.
