Review of A Passage to India (1984) by Lanning : — 03 Dec 2006
God is . . . God si . . . is/si . . . love . . . And here we have mister fists and fingers himself. A superior screen adaptation of one of my all-time favorite novels. I bet a dollar that Forster would have loved seeing this.
What a swan song for David Lean. Banerjee plays Aziz just as I had pictured him. Surmounting or succumbing to prejudice can sometimes be a deadly movie topic, especially when the movie maker wants to "teach" you something, beating a "lesson" into you.
This move is not one of those. This movie is one for the ages.
