East is East (2009)
As if being a hormone-crazed teenager wasn't hard enough,
the six children of the Khan family have to struggle to
find their own voice, caught up as they are between their
domineering and staunchly traditionalist Pakistani father
and their somewhat blaze English mother. Add to this the
chaos and claustrophobia of a family of eight living in a
three-bedroom terraced house, the trials and tribulations
of first love, the racism of the street and the code of honour
of the mosque, the Rock'n'Roll of the disco and the Bollywood
beats booming from the stereo in the family's Fish'n'Chips shop,
and you end up with a colourful blend of comedy and tragedy
that seems to cut to the core of what our current debates on
migration and multiculturalism are all about.
