White Wall Cinema: MISSISSIPPI MASALA
March 13 @ 7:20 pm – 10:30 pm
The mother of New York City’s new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is acclaimed director Mira Nair. Between creating landmark works such as Caméra d’Or–winning and Oscar-nominated Salaam Bombay! and the Golden Lion and Golden Globe–winning Monsoon Wedding, Nair crafted this wonderfully luminous, big-hearted, sweet, sexy, and deeply satisfying celebration of love’s power to transcend racial prejudice, now finally enjoying a well-deserved revival.
A romantic gem rich filled with humour and piercing insight, Mississippi Masala explores identity, displacement, colourism, community, prejudice, family, and generational divides. It is a gorgeously irresistible yet honest ode to the melting pot of American society, as well as a moving portrait of individual emotional reckoning.
Beautifully shot in warm, glowing tones with intimate, naturalistic cinematography, the film looks spectacular in this new restoration. making this modern classic more effervescent than ever. We can’t wait to welcome you to this special screening of a truly underappreciated treasure of early ’90s cinema.
