The Chess Players (1977)
(Shatranj Ke Khilari)
Country: IND
Technical: col 129m
Director: Satyajit Ray
Cast: Richard Attenborough, Saeed Jaffrey
Synopsis:
Two chess players are so wrapped up in their game they are unable even to look after their wives, much less bother about the English.
Review:
Delightful expansion of historical events into a study of national characters, with use of cartoons, song and the chess game itself to underline the parallels.
