Watched The Perez Family on Bravo the other night. Enjoyed it except for the exasperating commercials. It was a much better, more upbeat fantasy tale than Holy Smoke. Marisa Tomei was dynamite, IMO, in the lead. Mira Nair may be a better director than Jane Campion. The only other one of Nair's I've seen is The Kama Sutra which was quite good, more so than implied by the title. I missed Mississipi Masala and Salaam Bombay, which I recall got good reviews. Campion and Nair are both good directors who produce off-beat movies that usually hold my attention.
