[Of] importance is the possibility that the film will bring Gandhi to the attention of a lot of people around the world for the first time, not as a saint but as a self-searching, sometimes fallible human being with a sense of humor as well as of history....read the complete Gandhi (1982) review at New York Times (Vincent Canby)

If the only reason you buy this special edition of Gandhi is to view a nine-minute featurette on the filming of Gandhi's funeral, then you will have spent your money well. Some 23,000 feet of film were taken over about ten consecutive hours. Prepare to ...

Without a doubt, Gandhi has to be one of the most momentous and poignant movies ever made. Based on a true story, this powerful 1982 depiction, directed and produced by Richard Attenborough, recaps the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948), who arguably ...

Although this film was released in 1982, in my opinion, it continues to stand the test of time.

And to think that it took Richard Attenborough about 20 years to complete this film...it was ...
