Filmed in the Island last year, Mistress of Spices is released on DVD in the UK on the 14th August. Starring Aishwarya Rai and Dylan McDermott, the film is based on the popular book by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. Written by Gurinda Chadha and directed by Paul Mayeda Berges – who collaborated on BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM and BRIDE & PREJUDICE–the film focuses on how much immigrants should try to assimilate into a new country and how much of their traditions they should keep.
