Richard Attenborough's sweeping epic of a movie that rightful dominated the Oscars on its release.
It tells the story of how one man's fight against injustice helps to free the Indian Subcontinent from British Colonial rule. Despite all manner of obstacles put in his way, Gandhi refuses to submit to violence, prefering to keep the status quo rather than allow his followers to resort to physical force. Despite the weight of an Empire against him, Gandhi's message that 'right will prevail' comes to pass. An amazing film that does justice to one of the truly great men of modern times.
Ben Kingsley gives a powerful and sensitive portrayal in the title role, ably supported by the cream of British acting talent.
Both moving and thought-provoking, the magic and essence of India is brought to life in what must surely be Attenborough's finest film.
