"A Fond Kiss"
2004
Directed by Ken Loach

Once again Ken Loach demonstrates his supreme skill with characterization and balancing the personal with the political in this tender romantic drama about a second generation Pakistani DJ (Atta Yaqub) who falls in love with an attractive Irish schoolteacher (Eva Birthistle) in Glasgow. Loach dramatizes the tensions that arise when the couples' respective families and co-workers find out about their mixed-race relationship. "Although Loach takes pains to present all sides of the issues he raises, he courageously faces up to the truth about people's lives, which is his abiding strength" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times). 114 minutes.

                             All films sold by 1-World Festival of Foreign Films are in North American format.
