Director Martin Scorsese brings passion, style and urgency to his exceptional epic biopic of the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, the 14th Dalai Lama (played by Tenzin Thuthob Tsarong as an adult).
After he's found as a two-year-old in a remote Tibetan village, he grows up in the capital, Lhasa, but then the Chinese invade his country...
This thoughtful, intelligent movie is gorgeously wrapped in stunning designs and beautiful cinematography and it's swirled along by a distinguished score by Philip Glass, all nominated for Oscars.
