I think it was pretty spot on regarding Anderson's tendency to fetishize non-white characters and foreign scenery. Did you read the review of this movie on Slate?

BTW, have you seen the other movie in contention for the Oscar entry - 'Dharm'. I would love to see you review it too.

Even if my film were not chosen, I don't know if I'd go to court to argue otherwise...VVC is due to be in the US this week. Let's see how this gets resolved... Nic, I hear what you say.

Hope the movie reaches mumbai soon. >>> In that laughable way that some people go to India with the idea that they’re headed for some Ground Zero of spirituality Thats so true, and while there is a lot of spirituality on display in India, most people don't realize that a lot of it is just not accessible to the common man due to various reasons. And Maria, what's your take on India's entry for the Oscars this year. Its a huge controversy over here and the matter has even reached the court. Now do I hear someone mention something about argumentative Indians ;) Seems like a good movie, though I must admit the elephant at the beginning of the promo almost turned me off.

Thats so true, and while there is a lot of spirituality on display in India, most people don’t realize that a lot of it is just not accessible to the common man due to various reasons.
