 Many cinematic and televised films focused on the British Empire, particularly the British Raj in India.However, while these films glorify and romanticize t they also provide a critique of the oppressive restrictions of British society and the superiority, arrogance, and controlled manner of the ruling classes.Maurice (1987) and Another Country (1984) were concerned with sexual repression and the intolerance of English society in the early 20th century, while Heat and Dust (1983) and A Passage to India (1984) criticized the ignorance of British authorities in India and the inequities of colonialism.
