Entrancing as it is exotic, silent classic A Throw Of Dice (1929) plays like a fairytale for adults.

Osten's film, which features more than 10,000 extras and 1,000 horses, is as excessive and beautiful as any scene from Antony and Cleopatra or Ben-Hur.

The story itself is nothing special, but the lush jungle setting is magnificent and it gives the film a special feeling.

[An] amazingly fluid silent-era Indian feature, with a breathtaking use of open air, space and lots of extras.

This silent Indian melodrama offers proof positive that America didn't have the monopoly on epic cinema in the '20s.

Product Description:
This 1929 silent film has been given a fresh orchestral score by Nitin Sawhney. Two kings both desire Sunita, the daughter of a hermit, and they decide to gamble for her hand in marriage. Sunita would rather marry Ranjit, but he loses the game of craps to Sohan, setting into motion a series of deceptions. THROW OF DICE was the second Indian feature from director Franz Osten, whose first film was LIGHT OF ASIA.
