The Magic Of David Lean at it's best.

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2001)

Although not an accurate adaptation of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, it is still an excellent look at the campaign in the desert. David Lean is quite simply a genius of film. Nothing compares to the setting, camera work or technical brilliance of the film. Try to compare the massed extras with the computer generated characters in modern films and you can see what made David Lean the brilliant man he was.
