    “Water” a Canada/India film in the Hindi language, written and directed by Deepa Mehta. It’s just gorgeous. About an ashram where India’s widows are forced into, at all ages, to live for the rest of their lives. Here’s a bit from a review:
    The Hindi-language film is the final instalment (after 1996’s Fire and 1998’s Earth) in Mehta’s elements trilogy, and the Canadian director’s most devastating cinematic statement to date. A potent censure of patriarchy as well as an ode to female resilience, Water follows three women at different stages of their internment: Kalyani; Shakuntula (Seema Biswas), the middle-aged woman who governs the colony; and Chuyia (Sarala), eight years old and already a widow. Chuyia is, from the get-go, a destabilizing force, questioning not only her own confinement but the logic of sequestering widows.
