A glorious, ennobling tale.

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 1999)

If you have not seen this film yet, please stop reading and go see it first. If you go with an open mind, it will be very rewarding. If you have, I would like to know if I am going too far in seeing a Hindu subtext to the film. There is a lot in it that seems like an American tale of karma and reconciliation. The film has lived with me for days now, and I still get that charge, especially the deep poignancy of Malcolm's wife at the end.
