Beautiful in its storytelling

Rating: 7/10 (2 October 2010)

This film was beautiful in its storytelling, when I first saw it on World Peace Day at the Filmhouse Edinburgh. Stunning in its 70mm it showed the life of Gandhi and the struggles he went through in freeing India from the British, also portraying the divide between the Hindus of India and the Muslims of Pakistan.
Clearly Attenburgh wanted just to portray this as a beautiful story of the man and not try to overly dramatise it or add Hollyood actors. With a brilliant portrayal by the actor who played Gandhi and his wife and supporters. This film shows how India would do anything for Gandhi and what he stood for.
