Part of the Hawai‘i International Film Festival (HIFF)

MRS. 
2023, From India, Director: Arati Kadav

Cinematic culinary delights are in high demand at festivals. One of India’s breakthrough talents Arati Kadav follows up on her successful debut CARGO with a flavorfully choreographed musical cooking drama that chops sexism with green chillies —The feminist answer to the French THE TASTE OF THINGS. The exotically delicious film guides us through Indian cuisine, whilst layer by layer revealing the position of women who are expected only to cook, clean, and submit to sex-addicted hubbies. Dance teacher Richa has an instant connection to the wealthy doctor Diwakar but soon finds herself in an overcooked and tasteless happily ever after laced with misogyny, arrogance, and stubbornness. The kitchen has the solution to all problems. So Richa cooks splendid dishes with love and dedication, refusing to yield to male dominance.
