Kundun

(1997) dir Martin Scorsese w/Tenzin Thuthob Tsarong, Gyurme Tethong, Tulku Jamyang Kunga Tenzin [134 min; 35mm]

Martin Scorsese’s biopic about the Dalai Lama is very rarely screened – and unavailable in a high-definition US home video release – but remains an absolutely gorgeous film. This is thanks largely to the award-winning cinematography of Roger Deakins whose camera seems equally at home on sunlit mountain slopes as it does in candle-lit monasteries.
