Peter Brook's The Mahabharata

I hope that you all have seen this on PBS many, many years ago. This one is absolute dynamite...... Brook brings to life carefully chosen shards of the great epic of the Hindus..... It was breath-taking to view it years ago. And it still holds it own. BRAVO to director Peter Brook's work; and to all his actors. Thank you Peter.....

Always has been a favorite. I got this because I already love it. Brook's interpretation is brilliant.

Thank you!

Cheap and cheesy. Despite a long history of wonderful Indian film and Indian actors, Peter Brook's version of The Mahabharata not only plods but relies overwhelmingly on African, Mongolian, and Eastern European actors who are then dubbed in Hindi. Boring, hard to follow. No sweep, no drama, no musical score. Looks like a film version of someone's high school play. We sent it back.

This is trash; it is an insult to this lofty epic. It would take at least a day for me to properly respond to this nonsensical and failed attempt to depict this amazing epic. Don't waste your time.
