简介：Adapted from the Indian epic poem of the same title (the longest in human history, counting 2,000 years of existence and 100,000 stanzas), Peter Brook's Mahabharata is a true masterpiece showcasing all the maker's trademarks – and, most of all, his visual and narrative poetic economy. Following the conflict between two Indian families of common ancestry (the descendants of the gods of earthly harmony, patience, and wisdom, and their eternal dark rivals), the screen adaptation of a monumental nine-hour production that helped redefine theater, is a profound, breathtaking, and inspiring expression of mankind’s attempt to make sense of the often baffling and terrifying human experience; at the same time, it illuminates which values are essential for human survival and fulfillment. And as its bearded creator and storyteller says to an inquiring youth in the beginning, “Mahabharata is the poetical history of mankind... If you listen carefully, in the end, you’ll be someone else.”
