Water
2-Disc Special Edition in October
7
September 2007
In
1930s India, eight-year-old widow Chuya is left
in the holy city of Varanasi to live her life in
poverty as penance for her husband's passing. Here
she is befriended by two older widows who have been
forced into prostitution, one of whom becomes romantically
involved with a respectable law student, a relationship
that threatens serious consequences for them all
and provokes an upheaval that reflects nothing less
than the changing face of India itself. The third
film in Deepa Mehta's Elements trilogy, following
Fire (1996) and Earth
(1998), Water is a compelling and
persuasive study of the unjust treatment of women
in pre-Independence India, whose heartfelt message
is still unfortunately relevant today.
