Madhur Jaffrey

“I don't feel like an imposter. I feel in many ways I’m an amateur who always has been hardworking and always goes to learn as much as I can and master whatever I'm doing. I've always been like that, but I'm not trained to do it.”

    SHAKESPEARE WALLAH

    JAMES IVORY India, 1965

    East meets West in this magnetic portrait of a traveling theater family, a breakthrough Merchant Ivory production that garnered Madhur Jaffrey the Best Actress Award at Berlinale. Set to a gorgeous score by Satyajit Ray, life on the road is dotted with thrilling encounters and bittersweet goodbyes.

    CALORE E POLVERE

    JAMES IVORY Regno Unito, 1983

    Another winning collaboration with writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, this Merchant-Ivory gem marvels at the beauty of India while remaining critical of the Western gaze. Time-traveling between two intercultural romances starring Shashi Kapoor and Julie Christie, Heat and Dust simmers with feminine rage.

    AUTOBIOGRAFIA DI UNA PRINCIPESSA

    JAMES IVORY Regno Unito, 1975

    Accanto al sempre eccellente James Mason, Madhur Jaffrey è una presenza regale nei panni di una principessa esiliata aggrappata al ricordo di un’epoca dorata. Con scenografie lussuose e nostalgiche caratterizzate da oggetti sbiaditi, il film brilla di memorie di un’India perduta per sempre.
