A very moving piece. David Hamilton is excellent as always. Deepa Mehta has infused this with a striking storyline and beautiful music. The photography was not the best, but alright. Partially in english but mostly with subtitles, Unfortunately I was working on something at the same times as watching this and did not get the full affect, so does need a reviewing for a more solid review. Honestly, other than the usual Deepah Mehta delights, I was a little dissappointed in this movie, perhaps because I am naive to some of the content and was distracted from the movie. I have to say, I liked WATER better.

This movie was exceptionally good! Banned in India for its subject matter; giving examples of lesbianism and puritanism. Moving and intense, I like this one the best out of the trilogy (Earth, Water, Fire)

The Republic of Love
This movie by Deepah Mehta is a delightful little romance with some beautiful indian music in a modern setting, adding some spice to the romance. It is idealistic in its spark, which makes it a little unbelievable, but stands in contrast to the rest of the movie which shows that such a love is rare and special and makes it charming. A story of true love, and the resistance of it because of fear. A subtle analysis of love with a unique and somewhat difficult background for it that only makes it more dear. The characters were fairly well developed, you liked them :) Although, I also confused a couple of the characters at first, they look similar, and the choppy but affective style of photography added to the confusion of those two characters, but that changed pretty quickly as i came to understand the plot.

An endearing and humourous tale about two ladies, one old lady with wonderful stories to tell and one younge lady in search of herself, who quickly take to eachother as friends because of their love for hearing and playing music. They decide to 'run away' together from overbearing men to find themselves in a little adventure and an exciting fight for their place as musicians, as women, for love and for a future.
