Cotton Mary

a film by Ismail Merchant
written by Alexandra Viets
starring Madhur Jaffrey, Greta Scacchi,
Sakina Jaffrey and James Wilby
opens February 11th, 2000

"This outstanding drama of a half-mad Anglo-Indian woman and the shattered Memsahib whose life she tries to assume, is a triumph for director, Ismail Merchant.

Set in India after the Raj, it's both a psychological horror story and an unsparing portrait of the way colonialism corrupts everyone it touches, the ruler as well as the ruled.

Madhur Jaffrey, Greta Scacchi and James Wilby grace the film with what may well be their best performances ever." - by Karen Durbin of Mirabella
