Directed and produced (with Caroline Baron) by Mira Nair. Written by Sabrina Dhawan. This winner of the 2001 Venice Film Festival: Golden Lion Award, from the renowned director of Salaam Bombay! and Mississippi Masala, is a delightful, exuberant comedy that links the stories of far-flung members of an Indian family. As these family members attend a traditional Punjabi wedding in contemporary India, love and conflict are sparked, and true confessions are blurted out even on the way to the altar. Monsoon Wedding examines an India where the “dot.com” society coexists with ancient India in an unlikely harmony. As one of the most highly acclaimed films of 2002 this film is an early contender for this year’s Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. In English, Hindi and Punjabi with English subtitles. A USA Films release.
