"Hideous Kinky"
1998
Directed by Gillies MacKinnon

The director of Small Faces brings his deep feeling for people and places to Morocco of the 1970s in this wonderfully textured drama about a young English mother (Kate Winslet) who leaves her home to find enlightenment and adventure in the foreign land. Accompanied by her two daughters, she finds her new life alternately, challenging, exciting, lonely and romantic. "Hideous Kinky is so much more than travelogue, and its daunting intelligence and effervescent sense of time and place are rare treasures" (Ray Pride, New City).  98 minutes.
