Alec Guinness. A Passage To India. The subsequent trial lays bare the tensions which exist between the native population and the British colonialists, as well as the sexual repression which lurks under the surface of the polite society the British attempt to recreate on foreign soil.

Additional InformationDavid Lean returned to filmmaking after a 14-year absence to direct this award-winning adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel. Adela Quested (Judy Davis), a young and spirited Englishwoman, travels to India alongside the somewhat older Mrs. Moore (Peggy Ashcroft). Mrs. Moore's hope is that her son, an administrator in the British Raj, and Adela will wed. Once in India, the two women pay scant heed to the customs followed by English society. They even agree to accompany a "native" -- the charming and educated Dr. Aziz (Victor Banerjee) -- on a tour of the mystical, ancient Marabar Caves. But their innocent outing turns ugly when Adela emerges from the cave's darkness accusing Aziz of rape. British authorities eagerly pursue--even pressure --Adela to go to court. The truth, however, is not as clear as the bigoted colonial government believes it is.

  • A David Lean film not to be missed.

    One of David Lean's best films in my opinion. Superb photography, good script and a great performance from Judy Davis, supported by a very good cast. Although I saw this film a long time ago, I have not yet viewed the purchased film.

  • Thought of Buddhisum has been influenced to West as Alexander of Macedonia has attacked Inida ?

    As a boy of 5 or 6, I was sent to the Kindergarden, which belongs to Eikando Temple in Kyoto. The Important Teaching was Ji-Hi, which means Love the Sadness, which was being translated from Sanskrit word Maitri. Buddha was born some 500 years before Christus. In any case, the story of Buddha one sees in the numerous wall paintings of Samcapala Jataka, the story of Buddha is so similar to that of warm hearted samalit, in the Lukas of Bible. Thank you that I, a japanese may also add a word, to this opportunity, how we see from East. shimogamo1933 Kyoto, Japan

  • Excellent!

    Just as I remember the original TV screening. engaging story but perhaps a little apologetically PC which does not change the history! Non the less brilliantly acted and wonderfully filmed.
