Shakespeare Wallah
Shashi Kapoor, Felicity Kendal
Embassy/Nelson Ent. - O.B., 1991
Age and Loss
+ Sensitive, intelligent portrayal that rings true
+ bittersweet
The exquisite mood captured by this masterpiece is unique in my experience of motion pictures. The disc container description, partly repeated in the extra features section, is banal in the extreme, as well as laughably inaccurate. "Colonial rule" in India was not English, but British. The many ...

Chow Yun-Fat, Jodie Foster
20th Century Fox, 2000
excellent film, a must see!
+ Good purchase
+ A wonderful film
I love this movie! It is beautifully filmed and generally well-acted. The story portrays the cultural and philosophical differences and subsequent personal growth of the characters without being "preachy". It is easily as good as any Jane Austen remake and has better storylines and incredible ...

Strand Releasing, 2003
Storyteller's Delight!
+ Good movie
+ Fascinating storytelling
I own the VHS of this movie, and can tell you it is based on fact. What a tragic tale told so wonderfully. It has been said there is a lot of nudity, but truly not as much as one could expect. This film really does give the viewer a trip into the royal Turkish harem at the end of the Empire! You ...
