The impertinent, irreverent, even obscene dialogue of the street performers is what one remembers the most.

As the film collapses to its messy, ridiculous conclusion I was left with a strong feeling of a lost opportunity, a potentially enlightening epic coated with enough schmaltz to make it almost camp.

A little disappointing.
