Press Notes: Monsoon Wedding

“Mira Nair’s joyous movie about a wedding in Delhi . . . is both her most popular film and her best. It’s her Rules of the Game, an ensemble masterpiece,” writes Michael Wilmington in a review of our new special edition of Monsoon Wedding that is downright jubilant itself. Chris Vognar of the Dallas Morning News is similarly intoxicated by the 2001 film: “[Its] colors, motion, music, and spirited cross-cultural ensemble convey an infectious sense of unabashed joy and romance.” But Amanda Mae Meyncke, at Film.com, trumps them both with her praise. “Simply put,” she writes, “Monsoon Wedding is one of the finest films I have ever seen.”
