Mr and Mrs Iyer...non-Bollywood films to check out:<br /><br />Mr and Mrs Iyer (written and directed by a woman!), about the Hindu-Muslim tension, very good film.<br /><br />Pather Panchali, a classic old 1959 film directed by Satyajit Ray, who has been cited as a major influence for European New Wave. its on Netflix. it's such a sad movie, though.<br /><br />Dor, a feminist indie film. There are like 3 songs in the film, but its very NON-Bollywood, trust me.<br /><br />Bombay (1995), a Tamil film. this also has songs, but it's not typical Bollycrap, either. It's set against the 1993 Bombay riots, about a Muslim woman who married a Hindu man. <br /><br />Lagaan, a Hindi Bollywood film, which again, is non-typical Bollycrap film, very good film.<br /><br />Chak De!, another Bollywood film but there are no stupid MTV-esque songs in this. It's a pro-feminist sports movie, I LOVE this movie and I want to buy it on DVD. <br /><br />let me know if you want any more recommendations! all these films are available on NetflixSabina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14679639206346030919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-72928157854971853752009-06-02T14:36:22.213-07:002009-06-02T14:36:22.213-07:00nice!
