Does anyone watch this any more? Or talk about it? A big deal in its day. The day has passed. But it's smart. Literate. There's an Indian actor in the lead. The lead characters are Indian.
Gandhi is frequently helped by a friendly white - Ian Charleston as a reverend, Martin Sheen as a journalist, etc. This is needed, I believe, to get the film white audiences.
Beautifully shot and framed. Looks gorgeous. Smart. Powerful.
Long. A collection of scenes it feels like. Intelligent. I can see why no one watches it any more.
