Uma Thurman delivers an award-winning performance as a woman looking for love in all the wrong places. Directed by Mira Nair (Mississippi Masala) and set in 1987, the film follows Debby (Thurman) and Beth (Juliette Lewis), two old friends in small-town Bayonne, New Jersey searching for Mr. Right, but only finding a series of one night stands. Equally funny and somber, the film also reunites the fine actors Gena Rowlands and Ben Gazzara (John Cassavetes' Opening Night) as Debby's mother and her suitor respectively. "The whol e movie is beautiful" (L.A. Times). Mira Nair---USA---2002---93 mins.

Moving to the American South in her American debut, the Indian-born, Harvard-educated filmmaker Mira Nair (Salaam Bombay!) inverts the Romeo and Juliet story, concerning the forbidden love affair of an entrepreneurial black man (Denzel Washington) and a sheltered, young, Indian woman (the startling newcomer Sarita Choudhury), despite the objections of their respective families.

The surprise casting of Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) brought some additional attention to Mira Nair's moving family saga about cultural and generational clashes. The story travels from Calcutta to New York with Ashima (Tabu) and her arranged-marriage husband, Ashoke (Irfan Khan). There, they raise their son, Gogol (Penn), a second-generation immigrant gravitating toward the lifestyles of his American friends. Ashima's trials in adapting to American life run parallel to Penn's struggle with identity, fighting against his parents' traditions and yet ill at ease with the customs of his hip American girlfriend (Jacinda Barrett). Based on a novel by Jhumpa Mira Nair---India/USA---2006---122 mins.

An international critical favorite. Director Mira Nair examines the wretched social conditions of the street urchins of Bombay by filming on location and selecting most of her cast from the local population. The movie focuses on Krishna, a 10-year-old boy on his own who falls in with prostitutes, drug dealers, crooked cops and the indifferent bureaucracy of India. "...a film that has the everyday, unforced reality of documentary, and yet the emotional power of great drama" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). In Hindi and English with English subtitles. Mira Nair---India/Great Britain---1988---114 mins.
