Review of East Is East (1999) by Muhammad K — 26 Apr 2012
Wow. Such a beautiful film made on a limited budget. The characters/casting is spot on. Meenah's dance/take on Bollywood in the backyard is hilarious. The point that the film builds up to the (inevitable) clash/confrontation, then the outcome is well handled and really makes the film. Om Puri is spot-on.
Hilarious, sad and very watchable. DONT expect the earth. Relax and go with the flow.
Any sad film fans will spot that 'Bradford' is actually Glossop and the family actually circled Ladybower reservoir a few times...
