Product Description: Set in 1928, this film portrays an indelibly sardonic picture of British life in territorial India.The story concerns Adela Quested, who is a free-spirited British woman, played by (Judy Davis), who has settled in India and is to marry Ronny Heaslop (Nigel Havers), a town magistrate. She is befriended by the charming Dr. Aziz (Victor Banerjee), but it's a friendship that ultimately leads to tragedy.
Rating: - phenominal movie-A passage to India
This is one of my very favorite movies of all time. It shows a sharp contrast between India and the snobbery of the British who occupied it. The characters are beautifully done--Adela, who travels to India with her future mother-in-law, Mrs Moore. Adela came to India to find out her real feelings for Ronnie, Mrs. Moore's son. While there, she meets Dr Asiz and Mr. Fielding and the mysterious, mystical Professor Godbolli. Dr Asiz invites Mrs Moore and Adela to a picnic at the Marabar Hills, and while there Adela hides in a dark cave and escapes down the hill, accusing Dr. Asiz of rape. Mr. Fielding believes him innocent, and resigns from "The Club"--in effect, from snobbish English society. Fabulous photography, great actors, and a great story---don't miss it.

However, the recreation of 1920s India under British control is breathtakingly beautiful and it's an intriguing story. Along the way, the appalling British attitude towards the locals underlines the plot. The DVD has been remastered in high definition and seems to look better than its original theatrical release. Excellent bonus features include interviews with some of the first-rate cast and a contemporary interview with Lean. There is also a detailed audio-commentary from producer Richard Goodwin. Lean is the master director who has inspired others like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. While leisurely paced, A PASSAGE TO ... Read More

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.
