The brutality of this Iranian tale is offset by the beauty and dignity of the women who are its greatest victims. As harsh as the town’s steep and rocky paths, as timely as it is timeless, the film is an indictment of the festering poison that is borne of corruption wedded to oppression.
Dustin Hoffman hits all the right notes in his directorial debut about an English home for retired musicians. It comes somewhere in between the French melancholy glimpse into the abyss of old age offered by Armour and the randy vulgar denial of it too often presented by Hollywood.
Though it masquerades as a superficial thirties screwball comedy with a little bit of French sex farce thrown in for good measure, there is an inner core of substance in this froth of a film. Kind of like that apple hiding under the sticky sweet caramel coating.
Take a break from the daily headlines that bleed doom and gloom and treat yourself to this delightful comedy. Where the chief worry seems keeping a lid on the audiences for an exquisitely untalented Manhattan socialite who fancies herself an opera diva.
Charged with that oppressive atmosphere that is only released with a torrential downpour, this period piece is awash in seething tensions and passions. Set in Colonial India of the1930s, the ostensible focus is the torrid and doubly adulterous love affair between a British spice master and his Indian servant girl, but its real beauty is how it affects his second in command, Indian born but British educated.
