Running Time: 1 hr. 38 min.
Type: Drama
Set in southern India in 1937, this movie has a lot going for it. Tightly woven story of English planter with ambitious plan to build road through mountainous jungle. But this is only the background. He is enjoying an intense affair with his young Indian housekeeper which is frustrated when his wife and son show up. Tense drama develops built upon elements of rising Indian distrust of the British and a clumsy attempt to cover up suicide.
One of the best movies I've seen in recent months.
