An entire life perfectly sums up in only three hours

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2015)

Gandhi is universally known but thanks to this film, we learn to admire him more and more. "Gandhi" takes us back several years ago, through different countries, different periods of time and we become the viewer of an extraordinary life. The actors offer us a performance close to perfection, particularly Ben Kingsley who provides the film with a Gandhi in fresh and blood with principles, determination, courage but also doubts and weaknesses. We learn to know an ordinary man who has become a symbol of the non-violent movement and one of the most important figures of the 20th century. We are following this man firstly in South Africa then in India and we can feel our convictions evolve with him. This film is indispensable to understand why Gandhi is regarded as the man who changed the world forever.
