Forster's mysterious tale of British racism in colonial India turned out to be master director David Lean's final film. Subtle and grand at the same time, Lean's adaptation is faithful to the book, rendering its blend of the mystical and the all-too human with exquisite precision. Judy Davis plays a young British woman traveling in India with her fiancé's mother. While visiting a tourist attraction, she has a frightening moment in a cave--one that she eventually spins from an instant of mental meltdown into a tale of a physical attack that ruins several lives. Lean captures Forster's sense of awe at the kind of ageless wisdom and inexplicable phenomena to be encountered in India, as well as the British tendency to dismiss it all as savage, rather than simply different. --Marshall Fine Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A Passage to India 2 disc edition Comment: Truly one of the most beautiful and treasured films in my library....the new restored print is excellent and the extras are worth the modest DVD price paid. David Lean was a great director and this is only one of his many masterpieces. Customer Rating: Summary: Flawless and Timeless Comment: This is a timeless piece, a flawless production, and a message to all on the issue of discrimination and how to fight it. Customer Rating: Summary: A Riveting Movie! Comment: A friend suggested this movie to me. I waited with bated breath as the movie began. What a wonderful movie. The scenery was gorgeous. The director did a great job of showing how the British and the people of India were divided not only by their culture, but by their beliefs and the treatment of people. This is a must see movie. Take a "Passage to India" by the way of this DVD! Customer Rating: Summary: A Passage to Beauty Comment: A Passage to India is an incredible movie. It is great that it has finally been released on DVD. It is a captivating story, and the exquisite cinematograhy with the rich colors make it quite an eyeful. The beautiful score by Maurice Jarre fits the story well, and is certainly one of his best. He rightfully deserved the Oscar he received for the movie. The cast was superb including Judy Davis, James Fox, and Victor Banerjee. Peggy Ashcroft was utterly charming in her Oscar winning role. Don't miss out on adding this outstanding movie to your collection of the finest films ever made. Customer Rating: Summary: Very good video Comment: In general, the PQ is very good, there are moquitos noises in some scenes especially with the sky, this is not unique to this Blu-ray, in fact, it is the rule rather than the execption. The video is sharp enough that we can clearly see the freckles on Adela Quested's (Judy Davis) face. The quality of the video is quite even, but after I saw the PQ of the Battle of the Bulge, it makes me wonder why not all films can be mastered as perfect as that one. More Reviews
