Gandhi (Sir Ben Kingsley) – Gandhi
Talking about transformations…Ben Kingsley changed his ethnicity to play the legendary Indian leader Gandhi in Richard Attenborough’s Oscar-gobbling feature.
Everything about his performance is so finitely tuned and believable; you forget you are watching a renowned British actor, instead you are witnessing a kind-hearted, non-violent Hindu who embraced wide culture and religion, and in the process shaped India and indeed the world forever more.
This sprawling, unbelievably detailed film is a work of motion picture art and at it’s core lies a stunning biographical portrait.
