In his last cinematic triumph, the legendary David Lean (Doctor Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia) saw his adaptation of E. M. Forster's classic novel garner 11 Academy Award® nominations, including a trio of victories for Lean as Best Director, for Dame Peggy Ashcroft (The Jewel in the Crown), as Best Supporting Actress, and for Maurice Jarre's Best Musical Score. Now this timely masterpiece can be yours. Golden Globe® winner Judy Davis (Marie Antoinette) plays free-spirited Adela Quested, who is visiting her fiancé in the colonial India of 1928 and has a strong desire to experience the "real" India-despite warnings by the British community to maintain the social and cultural divide. The charming Dr. Aziz (BAFTA® winner Victor Banerjee) then leads an expedition to the ominous Marabar Caves. There, Adela cries foul and a subsequent trial brings to light long-held tensions that threaten all civility in the region. To honor Lean's 100th birthday, Sony added a wealth of bonus material to this beautifully remastered DVD, including audio commentary with producer Richard Goodwin and a suite of seven all-new "making-of" featurettes.
