Passage To India dvd






David Lean’s Academy Award® winning drama starring Peggy Ashcroft, Judy Davis and Alec Guinness A PASSAGE TO INDIA debuts on Two-Disc Collector’s Edition DVD and Blu-ray™ High-Def April 15th!

SYNOPSIS:
Winner of two 1984 Academy Awards® for Best Supporting Actress (Peggy Ashcroft) and Best Score, as well as the Golden Globe® winner for Best Foreign Film, Oscar®-winning director David Lean (1962, "Lawrence of Arabia;" 1957, "The Bridge on the River Kwai") masterfully adapts E.M. Forster's novel of political tensions in colonial India. Two-time Oscar® nominee Judy Davis (1984, Best Actress, "A Passage to India;" 1992, Best Supporting Actress, "Husbands and Wives") stars as Adela Quested, a plucky young who journeys from England with the free-spirited Mrs. Moore (Ashcroft). Flouting convention, the two women accompany the handsome Dr. Aziz on a tour of the mysterious Marabar Caves. But things turn ugly when Adela returns scratched and bloodied from the expedition. As British authorities urge her to press charges against Aziz, the line separating truth and fantasy begins to blur--and nothing is quite what it seems.
