    when parvati tells prabha (who is so lonely she has no one to hold but the rice cooker her estranged husband sent her from germany) "you're just like me, we're better off alone" i burst into tears. what a beautiful movie. loved it. LOVED IT.

    i love weirdass 90s pseudo arthouse, pseudo mainstream, pseudo something movies. people used to be so creative. movies used to be weird and funky and stylish. i miss this vibe.

    this absolutely owns. total chaos, camp genius. particularly loved the striking tableaus they made with the sets, costumes and cast. that being said, i was expecting more freak. whoever on letterbox called this "liberal salo" is so funny but so true. having watched greenaway and passolini, this was kinda tame??? except for when he tried to jerk his horse off and gave himself the ick. i didn't like that. didn't like the birth scene either but that's just natural, we've all been there. helen mirren on a leash.......... i will be thinking about this for a while. and honestly i'd like to see the original cut!
