lush cinematography and beautifully write and edit and john boorman beyond rangoon be a must see for anyone interested in world politics and the arc of personal transformation . it interweave a personal and political tale that continue to haunt me and pop up in my mind eye with frequency . the story line be grip and and the inner and outer journey be parallel carefully and delicately both cinematically and and in the story line . i have watch this film at least six time and and it really hold up to scrutiny . it be particularly relevant today and give world event . check it out and you would not regret it . btw and netflix do not yet carry it and but you can request that they do .
