Today May 2 is Satyajit Ray's 100th birthday, director of the Apu Trilogy among many other movies. If you haven't seen it, it's well worth the watch.

The music in the first one is from Ravi Shankar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pather_Panchali

And yes, Apu from the simpsons was named after this character in the movie. Although its interesting that it was ultimately deemed racist!
