The Far Pavilions Audience Reviews

Konterr Brilliant and touching
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Kirpianuscus romanticism. and the change of history. exotic landscapes, traditions and rules. and beautiful cinematography. a love story touching not only for its ingredients but for status of reflection of clash between two different cultures and for the last period of British India. the right word for define this series could be delight. not exactly as entertainment but as support for reflection and inspired definition of a period of fundamental transformation. not only social.
coulombe Someday, a distributor will make the complete miniseries available for the consumer. Any release of about 300 minutes has about 2 or 3 episodes cut from the original. The opening scenes of the current releases showing flashes of Ash's youth are pieces of these episodes which have been dropped since they would be considered nothing more than superfluous exposition to most Western viewers. But in order to fully appreciate M.M Kaye's story, they are vital and should be restored. These lost episodes impress the viewer with the customs of India, the background of Ash and Anjuli, the treachery of Biju Ram, the love of Sita and the wisdom of Koda Dad. Without them you don't really fully appreciate why Ash and Juli are so close, why Ash is torn between two cultures, and his relationship with Gulkote. The exposure to life in an Indian royal court contained in the lost episodes adds so much to the experience. So until you see a release that has a running time of about 400-500 minutes, let the buyer beware -- you are not getting the complete original of the mini-series.
missparkers I really love this movie. I, at variously times, read books which I think would make a great movie or mini-series. I was most pleased at the time to see they did make it into a mini series. The Actors (Ben Cross & Amy Irving) did a great job of portraying the main characters and even the lessor characters were portrayed well. The movie left out none of the appeal of the book. I strongly encourage anyone to read this book or see the mini series version of it. Please Read. Please See. *smiles* If you are a history buff, this will interest you as well; as it is set in the 1900's during the later day occupation of the English crown of India. A most romantic period in my eyes of that country.
emurray-2 The Far Pavilions is a very long movie made for a mini series (I expect) and its length is the one major drawback to the film. The acting, especially of the principals and more particularly of Ben Cross, is quite fine all around. The cinematography is beautiful of the Indian countryside. This is one of the better mini series made.I recommend it to you.
