A Passage to India | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

David Lean's last film -- after a 14-year break -- was seen as a return to form. But it's an odd, sprawling work with an epic backdrop but a pinched sense of storytelling.

The novel wants to be about unresolvability; the movie doesn’t, and isn’t. What’s remarkable about the film is how two such different temperaments as Forster’s and Lean’s could come together.

David Lean's adaptation of E.M. For- ster's great Anglo-Indian novel is, for a great deal of its 2 1/2-hours running time, an exceptionally fine and civilized movie, almost a great one.

I find it solvent and very moving, populated by contagious characters and that characteristic visual style of Lean that captivates my eye when it illustrates the beautiful Indian landscapes for almost three hours. [Full review in Spanish]
