SUMMARY:Tauranga Film Society : Mississippi Marsala
DESCRIPTION:This week’s film is Mississippi Marsala\nWhen: Sunday 8th March  6.00 pm start\nWhere: Luxe Cinema\, 21 Devonport Rd\, Tauranga \nCheck out the trailer:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seHuOmdcJqg \nand the reviews below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMississippi Marsala (1991)\n\nMira Nair’s second feature is an incisive examination of race relations and cultural tensions in the American South\, featuring Denzel Washington and Sarita Choudhury as star-crossed lovers.\n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREVIEWS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n “Twenty years after immigrating with her family to Greenwood\, Mississippi\, after dictator Idi Amin’s expulsion of Uganda’s Asian population\, Mina (Sarita Choudhury) has assimilated to her adoptive home\, where she works in the family motel chain — so much so that she thinks nothing of falling in love with a local boy\, self-employed carpet-cleaner Demetrius (Denzel Washington). Moving beyond the division between Black and white that’s long defined depictions of the Deep South\, Nair’s film depicts an increasingly diverse New South\, revealing new discoveries and old resentments. The drama unfolds against a landscape of timeless beauty\, the particularities of the dulcet Mississippi light captured by cinematographer Ed Lachman.”\n\n\n\n– Metrograph \n“As its title suggests\, Mississippi Masala is a movie of continuous juxtaposition. The first is a cut from Uganda’s verdant paradise to a Piggly Wiggly’s consumer cornucopia in America. Another follows a flashback to the family’s hilltop villa in Uganda with the mock plantations of wealthy Greenwood. Nair came out of documentary filmmaking\, and thanks to Ed Lachman’s vibrant cinematography\, in Mississippi Masala the landscapes are also characters.” \n– J Hoberman\, New York Times  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Tauranga Film Society meets every second Wednesday at the Luxe Cinema in Devonport Road. \nFilms are limited to Film Society members. Once you are a member ($120 for the full season or $40 for a 3-film sampler membership) there is no additional cost to see each film.  The 12 month membership period starts at your date of joining.\nFor more info\, contact \nKristine Keir\nEmail: taurangafilmsociety@gmail.com \nThe dates of films are on the  Programme for the Year
