 Rating:  - Mehta Ignites a 'Fire' of Controversy with Her Unfulfilled Housewives.Deepa Mehta is best known for her extraordinary trilogy: Fire (1996), Earth (1998), and Water (2005). Set in contemporary Delhi, India, the first film in the series, Fire, ignited a controversy upon its 1988 release with its frank depiction of loveless, arranged marriages and lesbian sexuality. Shabana Azmi and Nandita Das star as unhappily married sisters-in-law, Radha and Sita, living together under the same roof with their husbands. In fact, the entire extended family lives above a sundries ... Read More Rating:  - The second Deepa movie I've viewed and it was very well doneA clash of the old and new. This movie could have been made in any country 50 years ago. The struggle between the modern world and the family traditions. The two wives in loveless marriages find they have a lot in common and become confidents and close friends and then, longing for companionship and tenderness, become lovers. This is one of the most un-offensive lesbian movies I've ever seen. The two actresses make it seem almost natural and beautiful. I really enjoyed this movie. Keep them ... Read More Rating: - Worth ViewingThis isn't Biji's Bollywood. This is Deepa Mehta's New Delhi, India, during a time of transition.

The story line is quite basic: in a middle class family, one husband devotes himself to his swami and vows celibacy while his younger brother, forced into a traditional wedding, continues to see his lover. Both wives tend to the restaurant ... Read More Rating: - Interesting Low Key Movie about Lesbian Love in IndiaTwo women in undesirable arranged marriages in India begin to desire each other. While male sexually in all its forms are overlooked if not approved of, the women endure more disapproval and social stigma. Interesting take on lesbianism in a culture in which there is no such word for it or concept in the culture. Part of a trilogy with Earth and Water. Earth I haven't seen. Water won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film and is about a child bride who is cast off as a widow by age 8. I highly ... Read More Rating: - A Must See MovieThis was a fabulous movie! It goes to show you that there are all kinds of people around you that you don't even know! It was a very sad movie however, a real tear jerker! I was really moved by the actresses in the movie, they really played the parts extremely well! Browse for similar items by category:
