Description

David Lean's final film, an adaptation of E.M. Forster's novel about a white woman who accuses an Indian man of rape, is--at best--deeply flawed, but features several great performances and stunning scenery. Too bad it also features Alec Guinness in brownface, not to mention the difficult subject matter.  CW: rape/sexual assault, racial issues, Brits

Sure, the 1980s were a great decade for film. But have you seen all of them? No, neither has Mary. In fact, some pretty big films passed her by, what with being in kindergarten at the time: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Moonstruck, My Neighbor Totoro... So it's time to fix that.
