Martin Scorsese’s telling of the life story of the 14th Dalai Lama is a spiritual and deeply moving event. Barely able to walk, the young Tenzin Gyatso is identified as the newly reincarnated form of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Leaving his family behind in order to live in a monastery, he grows to manhood in spiritual isolation, sheltered from the influences of Western worldliness and the dangerous encroachment of the Chinese army, which eventually led to exile. Scorsese’s obvious affection and dedication to the Tibetan leader shines through in every frame of the picture, shot by Roger Deakins and scored by Philip Glass, both who earned Oscar® nominations. In English, Tibetan, and Mandarin languages with English subtitles. (35mm. Presentation)
