The Namesake!
The trailer for Mira Nair’s The Namesake is out and it’s making me so excited. The film is based on the book by the same name by acclaimed writer Jhumpa Lahiri. The movie stars the amazing Tabu as well as Kal Penn and deals with the identity issues that a boy (Penn) has who grows up in America with a Russian name in an Indian household. See Penn’s blog, which was written during the shooting of The Namesake, here.
Ashima (Tabu) gives birth to Gogol Ganguli. Ashoke (Irfan Khan) looks on.
ââ¬ËKama Sutra: A Tale of Loveââ¬â¢ is probably the most beautiful movie I have ever seen ââ¬â it shook me to my core and lived with me for days after I saw it ââ¬â I also loved ââ¬ËMonsoon Weddingââ¬â¢ ââ¬â Mira Nairââ¬â¢s work is breathtaking ââ¬â I canââ¬â¢t wait to see this!
June 7th, 2006oh my gosh! i can’t wait to see this! i loved the book…and i love mira nair. how wonderful!
June 8th, 2006I can’t think of a book adaption that I want to see more, and I’m *so* glad that Mira’s the one doing it.
June 12th, 2006I echo what jen said. I too think ââ¬ËKama Sutra: A Tale of Loveââ¬â¢ is one of the most beautiful, lush films I have ever seen ââ¬â the colors are amazing! Mira Nair makes the most amazing choices with color. ‘Vanity Fair’ was breathtaking too.
