Description
Release Date: 30 June 2003
From the creators of the classics 'A Room With A View', 'Howard's End' and 'The Remains Of The Day', comes the first film adapted from a work by revered Nobel Laureate, V. S. Naipaul.
Set amidst the large and prosperous Indian community in mid-20th century Trinidad 'The Mystic Masseur' is a magical, bittersweet fable about Ganesh (Aasif Mandvi) a young aspiring author whose unexpected talents as a healer bring him local fame and enable him to realise his ambitions as a writer. But he also realises his limitations when his reputation as the legendary 'Mystic Masseur' propels him to national renown and draws him far from his roots and his true self.
Featuring touching and comical performances from the great Om Puri (White Teeth), Jimi Mistry (The Guru Of Sex), Ayesha Dharker allows us a rare insight into the warmth and humour of these characters' lives as the Indian community in Trinidad began to grow and prosper.
