A love story, the story of a love that grows after marriage, and the first collaboration of Ivory, Merchant and Jhabvala. Accompanied by two short films, Merchant's The Creation of Woman, a dance, and Ivory's The Sword and the Flute about Indian miniature painting.
This is a classic performance based on the Glyndebourne Festival one, probably the one to have in a collection. But the quality does reflect the price and its age.
