    A beautiful and timeless achievement, Conrad Rooks' 1972 adaptation of Herman Hesse's appropriation of East Indian mythology still entrances.

    Fails to capture the essence of Hesse's book, try though it may. It is more a series of filmed events than an interpretation of the story.

    I am so happy this was re-released. The acting is stunning and the music waltzes you through the scenes as if by magic. Hermann Hesse would be proud.
