Ae Fond Kiss
In British director Ken Loach's latest film, Casim, a DJ in Glasgow's coolest venues, is a second generation Pakistani. His parents Tariq and Sadia are devout Muslims and plan for him to marry his beautiful cousin Jasmine. Plans go awry when Casim meets Roisin. Different from any girl he's ever met, she's gorgeous, intelligent, with a mind of her own - and she's a Catholic. They soon fall deeply in love. When their relationship is discovered, the repercussions of the scandal reach far and wide and sparks fly as cultures clash and personalities collide.
Reviews
“A beautifully played romance... Made with a light touch and real intelligence, it deserves to be a major hit.”
The Daily Telegraph
“Appealing... lovely, unaffected performances. Outstanding, like a glimpse of real life... like the meeting of real people, and the sex scenes Loach contrives for them combine candour and delicacy. An attractive and big-hearted tribute to the heroism and loneliness of love.”
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

About the Director
Ken Loach
Renowned for his unique brand of British social realism, Ken Loach has been making cinematic and televisual examinations of class conflict and social inequity since the 1960s. Resistant to the call of commerciality and Hollywood, he has never lost any of his bite and continues to tackle issues of oppression, inhumanity and hypocrisy.
