Description:
The Mahabharata is at the very heart of
Indian culture - in religion, myth and legend. One of the oldest stories
in the world, with the first known written versions dating back to the
fifth century BC, it is also the longest poem ever written - at more
than one hundred thousand stanzas long it is fifteen times the length of
the Bible.
Long-time collaborators director Peter Brook and
screenwriter Jean-Claude Carrire created the three separate plays that
comprise this version of the epic, producing a globally successful
nine-hour stage production, a three-hour TV version and this DVD
release, at just over five hours.
The central story is of the
lifelong feud between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, two closely related
regal families, but the many subplots, diversions, fables and legends
turn this mythological epic into a story of and for all mankind.
Extras:
* 24-page illustrated booklet with introductory and explanatory text written by Brook and Carrire
* synopses of the three stories
* details of the characters
* biographies and full production credits
