Review: "The film chronicles the life of the young Indian advocate (Ben Kingsley) who became a revolutionary, a saint and a martyr.
Gandhi is a straightforward treatment with the odd twists and turns expected of director Richard Attenborough; but the remarkable things about the film are first, that it was made at all in an age which regarded inspirational epics as outdated; and secondly, that it brought into life so splendid a leading performance. Beside these factors the sluggish pace and the air of schoolbook history seem comparatively unimportant. The film was given the Academy Award for Best Picture and won eight Academy Awards in total. "
