My Son The Fanatic

 

UK 1997, 83 minutes
Dir. Udayan Prasad
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama, Comedy

Feat. Akbar Kurtha, Om Puri, Rachel Griffiths, Stellan Skarsgard

 

Aroview: Penned by Hanif Kureishi (MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE), this Brit drama conflates various issues of British-Asian culture as a family is polarised by son Akbar Kurtha's Islamic fundamentalism and father Om Puri's love-affair with a prostitute (Rachel Griffiths).

Over-reaching, but with a limber style and core of rueful, wry humanism that justifies the often frenetic plotting.

NZ International Film Festival 1998
