Jean-Luc Godard Cahiers du Cinéma 09/03/2021
India is a film of absolute logic, more Socratic than Socrates. Each image is beautiful, not because it is beautiful in itself, like a shot from Que Viva Mexico!, but because it has the splendour of the true, and Rossellini starts from truth. Go to Full Review

Lanfranco C @Lanfrancobz 05/04/2024 Traveling in the soul of India. See more 03/25/2013 recently beautifully restored, the film is a series of vignettes focusing on animals: elephant, tiger, monkey. that monkey broke my heart </3 See more 06/29/2008 every scene was carefully chosen and that makes this film universal. See more 09/12/2007 Rare and difficult to find this film since it was lost for a long time and recently found. It's currently in the process of being restored, but I got to see the original Cannes Film Fest reel. No one does it like Rossellini and I do mean that in a sexy way. Intimately beautiful and slow Rossellini-style. That's the kind of lovin' I like. See more Read all reviews
