Review of Kundun (1997) by Adam Z — 01 Sep 2007
After the 'swish-swish' camera work and flashy editing of 'Casino', Scorsese treads new ground with this mini-epic about the early days of the present Dalai Lama. A very good film, with plenty of beautiful frames to pore over, but 'Kundun' misfires mainly because it never really gets under the skin of its subject, and could do with having been a little more epic in scale.
Still, a curious oddity in the canon of work and one which has plenty to recommend it.
