Shekhar Kapur as well. In a strange happenstance, there was a young Indian from Mombai who was the son of the owners of my favourite North Indian Restaurant (in Bryanston, South Africa funnily enough) who worked for Kapur and worked on this film. It was his heads up that caused me to keep an eye out.It was quite a bit removed from Kapur's notorious Bandit Queen which the young man arranged to have shown in Johannesburg. That was also an interesting movie (though owing a bit to Jodorowski), and he and I spent a few pints of Castle Lager discussing it.
I really liked Elizabeth. And I thought it was snubbed by the various awards.
Follow Ups:
I presume there is no relation to Raj Kapoor, the famous Indian director - his Vagabond was a big event.Elizabeth was a superior film to Shakespeare in all respects, I thought. And the Cate's lead performance was simply out of different league with the cute Hollywood babe.
dunno, but I would not be surprised if there were. Anglicized spellings have changed over time (Bombay to Mombai for example). I do know that this young man's maternal Grandfather was a major musical film star in India but I cannot remember the name of his mother's family to save me. The community was rather tight for a long time so some relationship is certainly possible.
