 Sir Richard Attenborough's
1982 multiple-Oscar winner is an engrossing, reverential look
at the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi, who introduced the doctrine
of nonviolent resistance to the colonized people of India and
who ultimately gained the nation its independence. Kingsley is
magnificent as Gandhi as he changes over the course of the three-hour
film from an insignificant lawyer to an international leader
and symbol. Strong on history (the historic division between
India and Pakistan, still a huge problem today, can be seen in
its formative stages here) as well as character and ideas, this
is a fine film. --Tom Keogh
