"By 1939, the family reunion drama - comedies and tragedies centring on weddings, funerals, anniversaries and similar gatherings - had become so well established that T.S. Eliot simply called his play of that year The Family Reunion........A major addition to the genre is Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding, her best film since her memorable 1988 debut, Salaam Bombay!.......The acting and interacting of the ensemble cast is exemplary........." Philip French, Guardian full review "The films of Mira Nair have brought mixed reviews. After the critically acclaimed "Salaam Bombay!" (1988), the films that followed never quite enjoyed the same success. "Monsoon Wedding" sees her back with a vengeance" Sandi Chaitram, BBCi full review IMDB on Monsoon Wedding | Official Monsoon Wedding site | Cinema Home |
