|
A beautiful fable from India about the origin of the Taj Mahal that entwines the lives of two historical figures - Shah Jahan, the 17th Century Mughal emperor, and his queen Mumtaz Mahal - with that of the fictional character Shiraz, a humble, love-stricken architect. |
|
Shot entirely on the actual historical locations in natural light, Shiraz is a dazzling paean to the eternal spirit of love. |
