The vibrant cultures of India, Uganda, and the American South are blended and simmered into a rich and fragrant fusion feast in Mira Nair’s luminous look at the complexities of love in the modern melting pot. Years after her Indian family was forced to flee their home in Uganda by the dictatorship of Idi Amin, twentysomething Mina (Sarita Choudhury) finds herself helping to run a motel in the faraway land of Mississippi. It’s there that a passionate romance with the charming Black carpet cleaner Demetrius (Denzel Washington) challenges the prejudices of their conservative families and exposes the rifts between the region’s Indian and African American communities. Tackling thorny issues of racism, colorism, culture clash, and displacement with big-hearted humor and keen insight, Nair serves up a sweet, sexy, and radical celebration of love’s power to break down the barriers between us.

Mondo Schizo: Carl J. Sukenick’s Galaxy of Garbage

Starring: Joe Franklin, Debbie Rochon, Abe Sukenick, Carl J. Sukenick

“A public access show made by aliens on bath salts.”

Mondo Schizo is a deranged no-fi horror fantasy clusterfuck trapped inside a negative-budget Oedipal nightmare from real life schizophrenic artist Carl J. Sukenick. Aliens battle terrorists inside a sorority house crawling with mutants, monsters, and secret government agents. Chaotic, unstructured, and stitched together from recycled home movies, static images, perverted camcorder fantasies and conspiratorial ramblings, it unfolds less like a movie and more like a psychotic broadcast from an alternate earth timeline — gloriously equal parts exploitation filth and cursed outsider art.

Described by critics as “a public access show made by aliens on bath salts” and a piece of art that “aggressively rejects all cinematic norms,” the result is an unsettling anti-movie artifact of underground VHS collage dressed up as a sci-fi horror movie — but is actually an interdimensional primal scream from the depths of the unsettled human soul.

Legion of the Night

Starring: Bill Hinzman, Tim Lovelace, Ron Asheton, Jeff Rector, Heather Fine

From the director of The Necro Files! A brilliant but doomed scientist cracks the code on reviving dead flesh, only to have his human experiments hijacked by the mob and turned into unstoppable zombie assassins. When it all goes south and the doc is taken out, his son and loyal assistant swear bloody revenge, unleashing the gang of killing machines back on the mafia bosses responsible. But these sadistic, undead robots don’t take orders from anyone — instead, they tear through the city in a frenzy of murder and destruction leaving a trail of bodies in their wake.

A blast of renegade action-horror, Legion of the Night is pure regional indie goodness and is stuffed with mad science, gratuitous gun violence, and mutant carnage. Shot on gritty 16mm film, it soaks the screen in rubber guts, oozing squib hits, and delirious 90s direct-to-video energy. Director Matt Jaissle (The Necro Files) cements his outlaw status with a furious cocktail of gore, grit, and midnight-movie tropes that found its way onto Blockbuster Video shelves in the heyday of VHS.
