The Asian-Indian film, "Water", is an exquisite tragedy involving
the oppression of widows in Hindu society. This,however, is not some sensationalist expose,but,rather a deeply moving story of the human struggle between conscience and religious tradition. The characters are drawn with such fine versimilitude that the easy manicheanism of good and evil are defied.Life beside the holy river Ganges baptizes,cleanses,refreshes and drowns the best and the worst of these fragile yet enduring lives. Brilliant cinemaphotography and a moving soundtrack imprint this compelling screenplay upon the eye , the ear , the mind and the heart. Dare to plunge into" Water " despite or because of its eloquent tragedy and experience the catharsis .
