This film renewed in me the longing to go to India. The characters, who, I understand, were not actors, emitted a tranquillity and a connection to their world, that we in North America are dying for. Also, the photography was absolutely splendid. Frame after frame was glorious to behold. The touching of the baby, of the elephant, of the pale walls of the house, was utterly sensuous. It brought home what it must be like to live in that place, to be so much in contact with one's environment. And the music....oh it was superb and it fitted perfectly. Maybe I sound a bit over the top, but I thoroughly appreciated this movie.
