Synopsis

An inventory of sorts of Indian culture that the Maharaja commissioned Austrian theater director André Heller to compile before Western culture eliminated the last traces of Indian tradition.

MUBI's take

Werner Herzog has always had a keen eye for the excesses of maximalist enterprise, and André Heller’s epic compilation of Indian culture is certainly a feat touched by madness. Surveying the project in wide-eyed wonder, Herzog quizzically interrogates the line between the eccentric and visionary.
