Summary
Cross-cutting between two generations, James Ivory{u2019}s sprawling epic of self-discovery is also a lush evocation of the prismatic and sensuous beauty of India. As she searches for answers to the mystery surrounding a long-ago affair between her aunt Olivia and an Indian prince, Anne (Julie Christie) becomes immersed in the local culture, the pull of the past simultaneously leading her into a clearer view of her own future. Winner of Best Adapted Screenplay and nominated for seven other awards at the **BAFTA Awards.** Nominated for the Palme d'Or at **Cannes Film Festival.** *"Heat and Dust contains wonderful sights and sounds and textures. It is seductive, treating both of its love stories with seriousness; these are not romances, but decisions to dissent." - Roger Ebert, **Chicago Sun-Times***
