Following up on a previous post of revisiting the
Trailer for 'Siddhartha'
I felt the need to share this because I would hate to find it
gone and forgotten, besides it's full of legendary figures.
For the record, 'Siddhartha' is on my Top 10 list of all-time
favorite films.

A rare, long and very interesting interview with
Director Conrad Rooks about the people and events
surrounding the making of his 1972 film 'Siddhartha'
starring Shashi Kapoor and Simi Garewal.

'Siddhartha' Revisited

'Siddhartha' (1972) filmed by Ingmar Bergman collaborator
Sven Nykvist, and written, produced and directed by
Conrad Rooks, tells the tale of a young Indian who
embarks upon a journey to find the meaning of existence,
and is based on the 1921 cult novel by Hermann Hesse.
Rarely seen until now, it is a must-see for film-making
connoisseurs everywhere. However, it did earn its share of
Rotten Tomatoes.
