Thanks. But do you understand the French here or have you seen this subtitled? Louis Malle is actually quite insulting in this documentary. He talks about how all the actors are fat, and how he thinks their makeup makes them look ugly. He actually implies that Padmini looks ugly. And then, in another part of the documentary, we see a very young Hema Malini dancing bharatanatyam, and Malle calls her chubby too. The footage is great, but IMO, the documentary stinks.
