Film: Water [2006]

I want to try to promote spiritually intelligent films here whenever I can. The first film I have seen the trailer for and a "making of" clip is Water, the new film by Deepa Mehta (who has made Earth and Fire). Here is the blurb about the movie:

Set in the 1930s, a young girl, Chuyia, is widowed and sent to live in penitence in a widow's ashram. Her feisty presence begins to affect the lives of the other residents, including a young widow, who falls for a Gandhian idealist, forcing the widows to question their future and faith.

Here is a link to look for showtimes (not sure this has opened in most cities). Here is a link to the MP3 of Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper's review of Water. Here is a review from Cinematical.

Here is the trailer:




Here is a short video, "The Making of Water"
