Mango Souffle 7/20,18:30 Proudly co-sponsored by he Embassy of India. Kamlesh, a young and successful fashion designer, invites his friends over for brunch...to break some news. Sharad, still hot for Kamlesh, finds a picture of him and Prakash embracing in the nude, though Kamlesh had denied the existence of any such relationship all along. This comedy with a serious edge unfolds in a cottage amidst a mango grove. Mahesh Dattani, a world-reknowned screenwriter, stage director, and recipient of India's highest literary award-the Sahitya Akademi-, makes a directorial debut with a film based on his diligently scripted theater piece On a Muggy Night in Mumbai." In India, where censorship of sexual content in films is strict, Mango Souffle has been shown extensively and praised for its cultural value. 　 Dir./ Mahesh Dattani 2002/INDIA 35mm/90min 　 <back>
