David Mermelstein Wall Street Journal So accomplished is the effort -- with tableaux inspired by Sergei Eisenstein and Fritz Lang -- that it’s hard to believe this was Shankar’s first movie. It was also, sadly for us, his last. Sep 29, 2022 Full Review Elizabeth Zimmer Village Voice A remarkable accomplishment in any era, this 154-minute film must have staggered viewers when it appeared in 1948.
