Sabah--A love story (2005)
- Thread starter heart
- Start date
I saw Sabah last night. A quiet romantic movie about intercultural love and the difficulties experienced. Moving, deep yet very sweet. Off the beaten path.
Dutiful 40-something daughter Sabah Arsinée Khanjian shocks her conservative Arab family by falling for Stephen Shawn Doyle, a non-Muslim, in this romantic comedy set in Toronto.
The relationship sparks a culture clash, ensnaring Sabah between Stephen and her tight-knit family. Like My Big Fat Greek Wedding, director Ruba Nabba's film reveals what happens when Old World tradition collides with modern love. Setta Keshishian co-stars.
I highly reconmend it.
Whew, I am glad Sona isn't here anymore to come and chastize me for speaking of this movie. I am sure he would not approve!
Sabah reminded me in many ways of Mississippi Massala
Mira Nair concocts a fascinating picture of Mina Sarita Choudhury, an Indian woman whose father Roshan Seth pines for his native Uganda, where his family lived prosperously until the evil Idi Amin took power.
Transplanted to rural Mississippi, the family struggles to make ends meet by running a string of motels, but they don't yet feel at home. When Mina falls for an African American entrepreneur Denzel Washington, complications arise.
Another great unsung movie.
