The cosmopolitan, Indian-born director Mira Nair (Kama Sutra - A Tale of Love, 1996, Vanity Fair - Vanity Fair, 2004) has made a name for herself with her song-and-dance comedy and drama.Monsoon Wedding - Hochzeit mit Hindernissen (Monsoon Wedding - Wedding with Obstacles) from 2001 is a typical Bollywood family film that only appears to be on the surface, with the smoulderingly serious and oppressive dimensions of traditional value and life systems flashing up in the background at times. Premiered at the Venice International Film Festival, where it was awarded the Golden Lion and the Laterna Magica Prize for the director, Monsoon Wedding has garnered a moving audience worldwide, along with numerous other awards, and has also won over the critics' guild with its differentiated impressions between tradition and new beginnings.
