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

As newly minted lawman Pat Garrett (James Coburn) stalks the outlaw Billy the Kid (Kris Kristofferson) across the plains\, their old friendship is twisted into rivalry\, and mythic ideals of freedom come up against an emerging ruling-class order — all to the strains of a haunting soundtrack by Bob Dylan (who also appears as the mercurial Alias). Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid — presented here in a new 4K digital restoration of the 50th Anniversary release — stands as perhaps the maverick auteur’s richest\, most mature work\, a world-weary ballad that bears the solemn weight of history passing into legend.” \n\n\n– Criterion  \n“Set to a haunting soundtrack by co-star Bob Dylan\, Sam Peckinpah’s final western is an elegiac and haunting meditation on integrity\, survival and freedom. James Coburn’s renegade-turned-lawman Pat Garrett hunts down his former friend\, Kris Kristofferson’s Billy the Kid\, with both men chilled by the winds of change. Shot through with a melancholy verging on fatalism\, the film ranks among the director’s very finest works.”\n– BFI Southbank \n“Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid would be Peckinpah’s final  ‘proper’ western… Its quiet notes of fatalism are the fullest development of the more caustic revisionism that Peckinpah’s earlier work displayed\, replacing grisly ultraviolence for its own sake with a meditative study of its aftermath.”\n– Jake Cole\, Slant
