I saw this finally on DVD. I wish I had seen it on the big screen. This is a gorgeous film. Didn't care for the story but the images--pure art. I liked the pacing too.
Visually, this movie was great. But the pacing was a bit slow for my taste and I found myself fidgeting and checking my watch. This coming from someone who loved The Constant Gardener.
Glad I saw it at the theatre. I had goose bumps throughout: a sure sign I was truly enjoying the film...........
The cinematography was perfect, beautiful music.........
It was more like a poem than a film tho... The anti-epic so to say.
this film is truly amazing. At times it does give you goose bumps. For me i got the same experience when watching something as good as Schindlers list......which when watching at times you stop for a second and go "oh ****....this is really what it was like.....i am watching history unfold." Movies such as these show the incredible power film can have.
The whole film is one epic masterpiece....the music, direction, acting, ...everything.
Also...i've never seen a film that showed such a high regard for nature....or the natural world as it must have been and the indian way of life. It makes you regret what has happened over the course of the last few centuries.
