"Monsoon
Wedding" [Indian film]
(Mira Nair, director)
Review by Radmila Djurica |

Monsoon
Wedding tells the story of five different aspects of love crossing
the borders between different social classes, different continents
and different morality questions. Everything happens in one
day, during the preparation for a wedding in New Delhi, India.
During that one long day, secret fears and hopes come out into
the daylight. But after the coming of the monsoon rain, the
final relief and discovery of love brings freedom. |
| Monsoon
Wedding is a happy film, a film full of music, full of costumes
and bright colors, full of contrasting extremes -- traditional
and modern, innocence and sexuality -- all within the full visual
glamour of India. It is unclear: Did Mira Nair want to persuade
us that modern India is on the brink of a sexual revolution?
Or perhaps she started this mission to follow her previous film,
Kama Sutra, where she examined the existence of lesbian love
in India. |
