Reviewed by Micky B -
Without in any way trying to repeat all that has already been written and said about this great picture: for <i>my/i> money, it's most deserving Oscar is for the <i>editing!</i> There are times when the story jumps from the past to the present (and vice-versa); also from fantasy back to reality...and the continuity linkage in every instance is handled in a most competent and totally non-confusing manner. The flawlessly neat way these linkage sequences have been created is worth the price of the movie alone! Why, the very <i>essence</i> of contemporary India is so vitally captured; to the extent that one feels one can almost <i>smell</i> the country much of the way through! Then again, the multi-award-winning musical score has a lot to do with this too. While I must agree with Carlisle in that one wonders whether the whole movie is worth ALL the hype and accolades it received: I must concur that it is a superior and enjoyable cinematic experience indeed, and one that will remain as a milestone of its particular genre - even when surpassed by other productions in times to come. And director Danny Boyle leaves the audience in no doubt that he is in full control at all times!
