Cinematheque . Film Schedule . SHIRAZ: A ROMANCE OF INDIA
New Digital Restoration!
Germany, India, United Kingdom | 1928 | Franz Osten
A fictionalized telling of the grand 17th-century love story that inspired the Taj Mahal, Shiraz is a lavish silent melodrama shot in India with an all-Indian cast. Fully restored by the British Film Institute with a new music score by Grammy-nominated sitarist Anoushka Shankar (Ravi’s daughter), this rousing tale of potters, bandits, slavers, and nobles is an altogether exhilarating big-screen adventure. “I’ll never forget the first time I saw Shiraz, and if you take a chance and take in this gorgeous silent extravaganza, a landmark of Indian cinema, you will surely feel the same.” –Kenneth Turan, L.A. Times. Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 105 min.
