Good concept, poorly executed.
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
This is included in the DVD of "The River," and in my and my friend's opinions it is far better than that film, which we enjoyed. With her daughter, who was born there, Rumer Godden at age 86 journeys back to India, where she spent the first approximately 35 years of her life. She visits the places she lived and talks very movingly about her life there. She has a genuine love for and understanding of India, which comes across in her books. The cinematography alone makes it worth seeing, it is so extraordinarily beautiful; and her story is enthralling. Even if you've never read any of her books or seen any of the films based on them, you will enjoy this film. Very very highly recommended!
