Review

Chicago Sun-Times, 09/19/1997, p.38, "...The film has a seductive resonance..."

New York Times, 08/22/1997, p.C22, "...FIRE has a cast of excellent actors and a steamy, gossipy story of marriages gone bad..."

Los Angeles Times, 08/27/1997, p.F5, "...Graceful and daring....In her understated yet inimitably expressive manner, the exquisite Azmi blends right into the flawless ensemble of actors Mehta has assembled..."

Sight and Sound, 01/1999, p.46-7, "...One of the most powerful achievements of FIRE is to represent a form of desire which is not an escape, but a political challenge..."

Distributor Note

Deepa Mehta’s tender, passionate and controversial love story of two Indian women torn between their devotion to duty and their desire for love and companionship. Radha has been a consummate wife for fifteen years but her husband is seeking spiritual enlightenment through celibacy. Her sister-in-law Sita is similarly frustrated by her new husband, who spends his nights with his mistress. Deprived of their husbands’ affections, the two women draw closer together in ways neither ever imagined.

Product Notes

Sita and Radha are young Indian women whose husbands choose celibacy or mistresses over their wives. The two women become friends and grow closer together, forming a forbidden but liberating relationship. A lush, passionate story of emancipation and love, in a closed society. Major controversy led this movie to be widely attacked and banned in India.
