A vibrant, visual treat that is full of colour, music and,
above all, joy. Monsoon Wedding delights in human fallibilities
and is unashamedly romantic. Yet, this is no lightweight.
It deals with some serious issues and Mira Nair is noted
for her ability to tackle difficult topics.
We are invited to view the, often chaotic, preparations
for an arranged marriage. This staple tradition of Indian
society is played out against modern attitudes and the tensions,
stresses and strains are there for all to see.
Skeletons come tumbling out of cupboards and the emotional
roller coaster will have you lifted to exhilarating heights
only to plunge you down as the next twist unfolds.
This is a film that you will be telling your friends to
see - make sure you don't miss it!
