Mississippi Masala - The Criterion Collection (Blu-ray)

After being expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin, an Indian family settles in the American South, where their daughter Mina (Sarita Choudhury) falls for a Black American carpet cleaner named Demetrius (Denzel Washington). Mira Nair's romantic drama is a vibrant and deeply felt exploration of displacement, belonging, and the messy, liberating power of love across cultural lines. Set against the backdrop of a Ugandan Indian diaspora community in Mississippi, the film weaves together strands of race, memory, and desire with warmth and precision.
