Review of Kundun

Kundun (1997)
10/10
I wept.
20 January 2004
Not many movies moved me ever as much as Kudun. Not only the shots are great, but also the score, both together create an amazing atmosphere that really catches your mind and soul. The story itself is wellpaced and sticks very closely to reality. Concerning the acting there is not to much to be said besides, well done. An interesting tidbid about the casting is that most of the roles of the Dalai Lamas Family including himself were casted with actual relatives of his Holiness.

Much much superior to "Seven Years in Tibet" and to me the contrast of this pair is an example of a masterpiece in comparison to mediocre fast food on celluloid.
