I want my films to explode with life. aMira Nair. This the first
book to examine the films of the acclaimed and popular Indian-born
and Harvard educated filmmaker Mira Nair. A unique voice in cinema
today she is one of the few female directors who made it to the top
of a male-dominated profession. Her films feature an incomparably
sensuous visual style yet at the same time often record the
injustice of the disenfranchised and the cross-pollination of East
and West. Her twin themes of realism and romance make for dazzling
cinema.THJohn Kenneth Muir analyzes all of Nair's work

young boy abandoned by his family on the streets of Bombay.THU
