Yet I felt like I was walking naked on a moonlit beach with a gentle breeze caressing my body though I knew there were sharks in the water but I was chilled by my experience with this enigmatic piece of Anglo-Bengali cinema which is neither exploitative nor sermonizing but rather an observation of a slice of reality, as true cinema should be and that is where I will say Ruhul Amin reminds me of INGMAR BERGMAN.
A kind of English
The camera captures the narrow lanes and parks of east London in a poetic manner yet the colors reflect the grim subject in a
natural manner with reds and blues predominating the lush green of Epping Forest shown initially as a paradise in the midst of reality, you will not see an inner city so truly explored anywhere else except in Italian cinema.
I must pay homage to channel Four for financing these wonderful ethnic projects, as my beautiful launderette but this is from a total Asian perspective and no one can refute the sincerity of this project but laud its genuine emotion for its subjects.
The director triumphs in gently and subtly evoking a painful discussion on racial discrimination and individuals rights in an ethnic community as well as social comment on the way Bengali Muslims live in a very constructive way without insulting women or men, but showing them as victims of circumstances which you will all agree we mortals are whether in Lucknow or London.
