Merchant Ivory introduce "The Mystic Masseur"

"The Mystic Masseur" is as beautiful as we've come to expect any Merchant Ivory film to be. Why the film has such an abrupt ending is a mystery, but that final fizzle doesn't undo what comes before. Thankfully removed from the urbane drawing rooms of Victorian England, this is the most enjoyable Merchant Ivory film in a while.
