Water

Water: A look at Hinduism in the 1930’s and the sad life it casts on widows. The story follows a young girl who is married to an older, ailing man who passes away soon after the marriage. The Hindu tradition has all widows wear white the rest of their lives and stay loyal to their dead husbands. They live in what is called “a widow house” and eat only one meal a day and wait to die themselves to join their husbands in the next life. This film challenges those beliefs, by showing the power of love and the need to change "old time" beliefs. The film boosts an excellent score and is just beautiful to look at. I did feel the beginning and middle dragged a bit, so I am only giving a mild thumbs up.
