Review of A Passage to India (1984) by John A — 14 Feb 2009

Quite an interesting film about the problems (and a bit of the beauties) of the British colonial project in India. On the plus side, the west is invited to experience the rich beauty of this mysterious nation, communicated through the women's interest in the culture and the beautiful photography.

However, the narrative makes the problems clear, primarily the seemingly unending racism by the Brits and the suspicion by many Indians. Acting is solid, esp. Peggy Ashcroft.
