The film's stars-Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken and French Actress Isabelle Huppert-have never provoked stampedes to the box office, and they light no sparks here.

The mountainous terrain--Nepal, home of Mounts Everest and Annapurna, is flanked entirely by the Himalayas--provides for poor communications, medical services and transportation of the agricultural goods produced by 90 per cent of the workforce. Shah denies that the mere infusion of aid and technology will remold Nepal...
