Anaya, September 1, 2006

'Earth" is the second in Deepa Mehtra's trilogy of elemental films, "Fire" and "Water" being the other two. Of the three, 'Earth' is probably the most strongest of the three, with its subtle symbolism and imagery and strong, well-rounded characterization. Based on Bapsi Sidwa's critically acclaimed novel, the atmosphere of the story is a blend of love and hatred between two partitioned nations: India and Pakistan. Though the story begins with a group of friends from diverse backgrounds, political and violent religious tension and terror gripping the two nations threaten to split the friends, lovers and close neighbors alike. "Earth" truly is a chilling film, but nevertheless one that is rightfully acclaimed and will stay in your mind's eye forever. It should not be missed as it is relevant to today's dark times as it was in the horrific times in India, nearly sixty years ago.
