Held up to contemporary miniseries' of its time, namely " Shogun," a contemporary epic of four years prior, "The Far Pavilions" makes India look downright dull with the camera lazily lingering on a caravan. The elephant still in the room though remains Duffell's direction, which for all the money he was given is often embarrassing. As the story enters its third act, some actors are downright guilty of crimes against acting, going as far as to bug their eyes out and stiffly drop to the ground when the script asks for a death scene. On the other hand, Amy Irving, manages to overcome the fact she's essentially in "brown face" (her character is half-Russian, half-Indian) and makes no attempt to pander to audiences with a phony accent. Main offender a horribly miscast Christopher Lee as an advisor to Ash Lee does his best to remain a supporting figure, but the concept of the distinguished British actor playing an Indian character coupled with an almost comical accent coming from the unmistakable voice of Christopher Lee, make his scenes stick out like bizarre caricatures. It does not store any personal data.A marginally shot film can often be overlooked if the story is airtight and performances are on their toes, but as good as Cross and the rest of the cast are, "The Far Pavilions" contains enough script issues that are supplemented by a supporting cast, often determined to overact and upstage principals.
