    A glorious adaptation of the classic Herman Hesse novel, Siddhartha was filmed by Conrad Rooks with legendary cinematographer Sven Nykvist in Northern India. Bewitched by the shimmering beauty and magic of this ancient land, they transformed Hesse's tale into widescreen poetry. A moving evocation of each person's search for the divine within, this is the story of young Brahmin who leaves his wealthy parents to become a "sadhu," a wandering ascetic. He meets and is awed by the Buddha but chooses to follow his own path, which leads him to sensual passion and material wealth. In the end he finds these pleasures empty and abandons them to find enlightenment on an entirely different plane.

    Based on the best-selling novel by German Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse, is the disarmingly simple story of a young Brahmin, and his search for a meaningful way of life.

    This search takes him through periods of harsh asceticism, sensual pleasures, material wealth, then self-revulsion and eventually to the oneness and harmony with himself that he had been seeking.

    Siddhartha learns that the secret of life cannot be passed on from one person to another, but must be achieved through inner experience.

    entirely on location in India Rooks had to overcome two major hurdles: The first was the Indian Government’s reluctance to extend visas to Western film-makers in the wake of what it considered to be an anti-Indian documentary directed by Louis Malle. Rooks was able to convince Prime Minister Indira Gandhi (a personal friend of his) and other government officials that his film would be a celebration of India’s culture.

    The second problem was the Indo-Pakistani war which erupted shortly after Rooks arrival in Bombay. There were air-raids in Bombay.The filming had to be constantly postponed. Rooks utilizes locations no American filmmaker has ever been given permission to reveal. In the holy city of Rhishikesh, the palaces and estates of the Maharajah of Bharatpur, the settlements along the Ganges River, the hunting grounds at Bareta and the temple ruins of this magnificent country, Rooks has spun a magical web of enchantment, and Sven Nykvist who shot more than a dozen masterworks for Ingmar Bergman has filmed its sunsets and moonrises like frescoes in a Buddhist temple.

    The beautiful Indian actress Simi Garewal and handsome Shashi Kapoor, who had both been seen in several of Satyajit Ray’s films, play the leads in this film.The lyrical performances of these two actors and the exotic Indian sitar music composed by Hemant Kumar give this film a special rhythm.

    …who wrote the screen adaptation, directed and produced Siddhartha was born in Kansas City in 1934 but raised in New York. After being expelled from several prep schools, Rooks wandered around Greenwich Village where he met his later wife Zina de Rachevsky, a member of the Romanov family. She introduced him to the Russian nobility in Paris and the „Beats“ in New York, such as Kerouac, Ginsberg and Corso. At the same time Rooks met underground filmmaker Harry Smith, and absorbed all he could about making movies.

    When Rooks, at the age of twenty, was first given a copy of Siddhartha by a friend, interest in Hesse was confined to isolated cliques of devotees - as the above mentioned Beat poets - whose thoughts were tending eastward and inward.

    When, immediately after reading the book, Rooks decided that he would adapt it for the screen, he hardly suspected that Siddhartha, along with Hesse’s other works, would become international best-sellers.To finally film Siddhartha was the fulfillment of a 16-year ambition and five years of negotiation and planning for Conrad Rooks, the director of Chappaqua. Chappaqua, his first film, had caused a sensation when it won the Silver Lion in its initial outing at the Venice Film Festival 1966 scoring over competition that included features by Truffault,Varda and Vadim.

    In 1972 the long awaited film was finally finished and once again Rooks won the Silver Lion in Venice.After the film’s completion Rooks left the United States and moved to India. He now lives as a total recluse in Pattaya, Thailand.

    Editor's Note
    This is a timeless, universal story adapted from the novella by German writer Herman Hesse, about youth, the search for one's place in the world, and the struggle for happiness. Based loosely on the Indian mythological story of the prince who went on to seek enlightenment and become the Buddha, the film was made in a breathtakingly beautiful part of Northern India by director screenwriter Conrad Rooks (CHAPPAQUA) and cinematographer Sven Nykvist. Siddhartha, played by renowned Indian actor Shashi Kapoor, becomes disillusioned with the quest for spiritual enlightenment, and turns to the pursuit of material wealth. Unfortunately, he discovers that the truth remains elusive on either side of the fence, and that what ultimately makes life worth living is inner contentment and love. At once a kind of "road movie," a historical drama, and a period piece, SIDDHARTHA leaves a lasting impression on the viewer, for both its lush visual quality and the profound story that unfolds.
