We had a great premiere and four additional screenings of my new film Indelible Lalita at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston January 10-16. My film subject, and now good friend, Lalita Bharvani came down from Montréal and charmed the audience with stories from her life and the making of the film.
We got some very nice reviews, too:
"Mallozzi has layered her subjects’ stories with an intimate, visually arresting style that, without heavy handedness, conveys the impermanence of life...Through the singularly magnetic presence of Bharvani, the film becomes a universal offering for how to live one’s life. " Loren King, Boston Globe
"Told limpidly and poetically by director Julie Mallozzi, with metaphorical montages combining images of passports, engravings of plants, and eerily beautiful X-rays, sonograms, and MRIs, this gently inspiring documentary suggests that, at least in Lalita's case, identity can transcend all change." - Peter Keough, The Phoenix
“A touching story about a woman’s struggle with identity, a reflection on ethnicity and femininity...powerful.” - Anthony Brooks, Radio Boston, WBUR
The Patriot Ledger also published a brief interview with me about the film.
For those who missed the premiere, Indelible Lalita will be showing again at the Brattle Theater on March 23 or 24 as part of the Women, Action, & the Media Film Festival.
