‘Before the Rains’
Because there aren’t enough massa-servant tales on the market, here’s Before the Rains at the Paris Theatre in Manhattan:
Before the Rains [directed by Santosh Sivan] is adapted from ‘Red Roofs’… in the Israeli director Dany Verete’s 2002 film, Yellow Asphalt… Moores… is carrying on a passionate affair with his housekeeper Sajani (Nandita Das), a beautiful, naïve woman who commutes from the village to work at his nearby ranch. One afternoon they are accidentally spied making love at a waterfall by two young boys from the village…
… he hands her money and entrusts her to T. K. [Rahul Bose], who is ordered to make sure that she leaves. Before departing, she asks Moores one last time if he loves her, and after a pause, he coldly answers no. [Link]
Here’s the trailer:
