This adaptation of E.M. Forster's mysterious tale of British racism in colonial India turned out to be master director David Lean's final film. Subtle and grand at the same time, Lean's adaptation is faithful to the book, rendering its blend of the mystical and the all-too human with exquisite precision. Judy Davis plays a young British woman traveling in India with her fiancé's mother. While visiting a tourist attraction, she has a frightening moment in a cave--one that she eventually spins from an instant of mental meltdown into a tale of a physical attack that ruins several lives. Lean captures Forster's sense of awe at the kind of ageless wisdom and inexplicable phenomena to be encountered in India, as well as the British tendency to dismiss it all as savage, rather than simply different. --Marshall Fine

The movie started out very promisingly, with a lot of visuals of India and the look and feel of the 1920s, but it all just kind of goes around in circles after it gets all the characters in place. I still don't get the whole thing with the caves. Was something supernatural supposed to have happened? Is this what led to accusations and a trial? The movie fails to make it as "trial classic" as well as it scarcely delves into the proceedings before it is all over. Speaking of all over, I found myself ... Read More

A PASSAGE TO INDIA is a beautifully rendered film with important themes adapted from E.M. Forster's novel of the same name. Set in colonial India during the 1920's we see the pseudo England the British have carved out in India with their club (no native Indians allowed) complete with tea parties, bands playing European music, musicals imported from London and a general disdain for all things Asian. We also get a chance to view the traditional culture of India with festivals, open air markets and ... Read More

This movie is sort of an Indian To Kill a Mockingbird (2-Disc Slimcase Set) [DVD] with a twist.
A journey to the caves becomes a disaster in which a well respected and educated Indian ( Islamic) doctor is accused of rape.
You get an impression that the English gentleman in this movie are mostly very bigoted fools? On would like to believe that the British have grown out of being be-knighted snobs with the heads in an impossible place,
but after seeing a British version of Oklahoma ... Read More

As a huge fan of David Lean's this movie is probably the weakest of his creations. As usual it has all the grand panoramic views making it a visual treat but the plot seems disjointed and some of the actions of the characters are inexplicable. Compared to modern day movies though it beats practically all of them. I would recommend purchasing it and viewing it with the family.

Buy it, rent it, but watch it. It's a masterpiece of filmmaking -- one of David Lean's best efforts. Judy Davis plays a conflicted British tourist; nevertheless, I instantly fell in love with her (and still carry a torch). I've watched this film dozens of times, and it never fails to entertain me. I always find some new discovery or nuance that I hadn't noticed previously. Unlike so many films, you actually care about these characters and what happens to them. I would probably place this movie ... Read More
