The freedom-of-expression debate thrashed out in the abstract: a stage-set of stylized antiquity, a nameless country, and only two (nameless) characters, an inquisitor and an author of children's books. All impulse to giggle at the pretension is soon crushed by the shared torture of it all. Madeleine Stowe, Alan Rickman; written and directed by Radha Bharadwaj. (1991) — Duncan Shepherd
