Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play From the acclaimed director of Lawrence of Arabia Doctor Zhivago and The Bridge on the River Kwai Sir David Lean&39;s last ever feature film is a magnificent work which earned two Oscars for its rich evocative score and a superb performance by Dame Peggy Ashcroft A Passage to India is "a wonderfully provocative tale full of vivid characters all played to near perfection" (The New York Times) With the director&39;s "strongest cast in years" (Time Out) including Judy Davis James Fox Sir Alec Guinness and Nigel Havers When liberal-minded English ladies Mrs Moore (Ashcroft) and Adela Quested (Davis) arrive in India they&39;re shocked by the prejudice that exists there The gentle Dr Aziz (Victor Banerjee) rises above the intolerance and guides the women on a tour of the splendid and mysterious Marabar caves; but when Adela runs terrified from the caves scratched and bleeding news of the incident spreads across the whole of Indiaigniting a powder keg of tension that has been waiting to explode  

David Lean made a comeback after a 12 year absence with this Oscar-winning adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel. Judy Davis plays Miss Quested, a young English woman, recently arrived in India, who accuses the seemingly humble Dr Aziz (Victor Banerjee) of raping her during a trip to the Marabar caves. The subsequent trial lays bare the tensions which exist between the native population and the British colonialists, as well as the sexual repression which lurks under the surface of the polite society the British attempt to recreate on foreign soil.
