About The Mahabharata
This film adaptation of Peter Brook's original stage play is a stirring, creative, and engaging retelling of the epic melodrama that follows two warring families, the Pandavas and Kauravas. Advised by the god Krishna to live in harmony and abstain from power, the fight between the families threatens the very order of the Universe. With a multiracial cast from 16 different countries, the film tells a captivatingly human story that is as universal as it is enduring. [170 min; drama; English]
"A work of beauty and eloquence" – The Los Angeles Times
"Breathtaking" – The Guardian
"An allegory with strong utopian overtones of colliding world cultures and political philosophies in which civilization rises, falls and is reborn." – The New York Times
