"Rebellion must come from within, like a viper hidden in a sock drawer." Magnolia Pictures has revealed a new trailer for an indie dark comedy titled
Sister Midnight, from Indian filmmaker Karan Kandhari. This premiered in the Directors' Fortnight sidebar at the Cannes Film Festival last year, and also showed at the London, Denver, and Sitges Film Festivals. A woman is transformed into a disturbing & ruthless figure after entering an arranged marriage. An oddball couple shoved together in a small Mumbai shack with paper-thin walls. They are awkward & alone-together. Unpredictable Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her lack of domestic skills, nosy neighbours and her bumbling spouse until the nocturnal world of Bombay and its inhabitants lead her to face her own strange behaviors. Featuring an eclectic soundtrack (Interpol frontman
