Review of Mother India (1957) by Kerry C — 25 Oct 2007
Like the great epics Mahabharata and Ramayana, Mother India provides the symbolic and narratival pool that Indian Cinema continues to dip into fifty years after the movie's creation. Nargis is remarkable.
The film's ambivalence about "modern," post-Independence India is significant.
