UK director Peter Brook (Marat/Sade, 1967) did a 6-hour TV version of The Mahabharata in 1989 adapted from the stage. This is a collection of related information and resources from film professor Gloria Floren of MiraCosta College (Oceanside, CA).

            Director Peter Brook's screen presentation of the legendary Indian 
            myth uses international cast, to emphasize the nature of the epic as 
            a universal story of all humanity.  The film stars Vittorio 
            Mezzogiorno as Arjuna, the leader of the virtuous Pandava clan, 
            which wages war throughout the epic with the power-hungry Kauravas, 
            who are led by Arjuna's half-brothers, Karna (Jeff Kissoon) and 
            Duryodhana (Georges Corraface). Although the benign Lord Krishna 
            (Bruce Myers) cannot intervene, he provides advice for both clans on 
            protecting dharma, the order of the universe. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.miracosta.cc.ca.us/home/gfloren/mahabfilm.htm"><P align="center"><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"><A href="http://www.miracosta.cc.ca.us/home/gfloren/mahabharata.htm">Background on
