"Brick Lane" Preview & Trailer
This movie looks haunting and beautiful, and I can’t wait to see it. Opens in limited release tomorrow, June 20, 2008.
Nazneen’s (Tannishtha Chatterjee) life is turned upside down at the tender age of seventeen. Forced into an arranged marriage to an older man, she exchanges her Bangladeshi village home for a block of flats in London’s East End.
More after the jump, including a trailer…
In this new world, pining for her home and her sister, she struggles to make sense of her existence – and to be a dutiful wife. But her husband is a man of inflated ideas (and stomach), and he sorely tests her compliance. Told from birth that she must not fight her fate, Nazneen submits, devoting her life to raising her family and slapping down her demons of discontent. Until the day that Karim (Christopher Simpson), a hot-headed local man, bursts into her life. Against a background of escalating racial tension, they embark on an affair that finally forces Nazneen to take control of her life.
Directed by Sarah Gavron, this movie is rated PG-13 for some sexuality and brief strong language. Official Site
