Another great Lean saga

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2019)

I had seen most of this movie already over the years, but I think this was actually the first time I sat down and watched it all from beginning to end. I mean, well, it's David Lean, it's Omar Sharif, it's Julie Christie. It's a grand, impressive, epic saga isn't it? I think it sort of suffers, though, from the fact that Bridge On the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia are SO fantastic (at least they are to me). Sort of the way I feel Pablo Honey suffers because OK Computer and Kid A are just so fantastic.
