Knowing very little about the history of Tibet and the Dali Lama I was fascinated to learn more about it, and through this film I did learn something. But although it touched my mind it left my heart rather cold. "Kundun" comes across like a worthy B.B.C./P.B.S. docu-drama crossed with a beautiful travelogue film. The acting is not bad but passionless and the story is told as if to educate not entertain. There have been films that have managed to do both sucessfully, like "Ghandi". I was also disappointed with the Phillip Glass score which recalling earlier works only accentuated the distance between you and the film.(6/10)
