directed by: Conrad Rooks, year: 1972
actors: Shashi Kapoor

An experimental adaptation of Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha (1972), directed by Conrad Rooks, this film follows a Brahmin-born seeker as he renounces wealth, explores sensual pleasures, and searches for enlightenment along the Ganges. Noted for striking visuals, stark color, and dreamlike, non-linear storytelling, it features Ravi Shankar's score. Shashi Kapoor embodies the wanderer’s evolving consciousness within a meditative, painterly frame.
