AMU
Writer-director Shonali Bose’s latest feature Amu begins its U.S. theatrical run today in New York City, with LA following in early June.
The tale of a young Indian-American woman’s search for the truth about her past, the film has already proven highly controversial in India, where it suffered several cuts and received the dreaded “A” rating, equivalent to an “R” here. This decision insured that a younger film-going audience would not see the film.
The film itself is a bold, honest story, told without a trace of heavy sentimentality or preachiness. Check it out and see what’s lacking in so many empty US productions.
