IN SEARCH OF KUNDUN WITH MARTIN SCORSESE
85 minutes; 1998 |  | This lively, illuminating film documents the making of Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-nominated Kundun. Detailing the Dalai Lama's life story, Kundun was in development for seven years, with the His Holiness himself having input into the 14 screenplay drafts by Melissa Mathison (E.T.). With four actors portraying the Dalai Lama at different ages, Scorsese's chronicle begins in 1933 with the death of the 13th Dalai Lama. This penetrating documentary features compelling interviews with Scorsese, HH the Dalai Lama, screenwriter Melissa Mathison, and production designer Dante Ferreti, as well as rare archival footage from Tibet. Le Monde called this film ‘gripping on every level’. | |
