Review of A Passage to India (1984) by Rodrigo L — 16 Sep 2012

At this point in his career, David Lean does not have to prove anything to anyone. The director of Lawrence of Arabia and The Bridge on the River Kwai, clearly was a master. Passage to India is a story that revolves around tormented characters (as in Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai and Doctor Zhivago), but now focusing on English hypocritical society that lived in those times. A remarkable work, that perhaps suffers from being a bit long, but the very style of the director, we want to tell a story and it does pretty well. Mix very well various topics such as Karma, the hypocrisy of society, a love story. Anyway, fans of Lean, can not stop seeing.

Not his best work, but it is so worth.
