Jag Mandir: The Eccentric Private Theatre of the Maharaja of Udaipur (1991) WikiData IMDb TMDB Douban
Jag Mandir: Das exzentrische Privattheater des Maharadscha von Udaipur
director: Werner Herzog actor: 安德烈·海勒
other title: 乌代布尔王公的古怪私人院 / Jag Mandir: Das exzentrische Privattheater des Maharadscha von Udaipur …
Jag Mandir is a quiet and often overlooked film in the vast oeuvre of Werner Herzog. Apparently, 20 hours of footage was shot that covered the whole fest and the film hardly presents us a twentieth of that. A native walking into the film in between may well fail to immediately realize that it is his country that is being shown and these are figures from the mythology of various sections of his nation. The bulk of the film consists of footage of an elaborate theatrical performance for the Maharana Arvind Singh Mewar at the City Palace of Udaipur, Rajasthan staged by André Heller.
