"A FOND KISS"

This week's film at Stocker Arts Center

"A FOND KISS" this week's film at Stocker Arts Center, will be screened on
Friday, October 14th, 2005 at 8:00p.m.  The film will have only one showing
so mark your calendar now and don't miss it!

2004       (R)     104 minutes     England/Scotland - subtitles
Director:  Ken Loach
Cast:       Atta Yaqub, Eva Birthistle, Shamshad Akhtar, Gary Lewis, Ghizala
Avan
                  
Ken Loach, known for his gritty, realistic dramas, delivers his most
lighthearted film to date with "A FOND KISS."  While maintaining Loach's
characteristic propensity for addressing important and complex social
issues, "A FOND KISS" also depicts a comfortably middle-class Glasgow
populated by characters with hopes, dreams, and vacation time. Casim (Atta
Yaqub) is the treasured only son of a first-generation Pakistani family, who
is engaged to his cousin, Jasmine; the couple is soon to wed and move into
an addition to the family home.  Less than enthusiastic, Casim is
nonetheless resigned to his fate until he meets Roisin (Eva Birthistle), the
music teacher at his younger sister's elementary school.  Roisin is
beautiful, quirky, white, and Catholic, and Casim initiates a relationship
that soon blossoms into an intense affair that revives his spirit.
Unfortunately, it also inspires opposition and bigotry from all sides, and
the two are forced to navigate a sea of social antagonisms along the way.
The actors, all of whom were unknowns at the time of shooting, provide a
surprising freshness and believability, avoiding the pitfalls of
predictability that threaten the old story of star-crossed lovers. 

"A FOND KISS" couldn't be timelier in its depiction of the ramifications of
rigid, close-minded adherence to cultural and religious doctrine.  Although
Loach takes great pains to present all sides of the issues he raises, he
courageously faces up to the reality of peoples' lives, which is his abiding
strength as a Director.  "A FOND KISS" in which everyone is living his or
her part to the fullest, is one of his very best films.  Though the story of
star-crossed lovers has been told many times before, it has rarely been
related with such honesty, insight, and beauty.

".a slice of life that is truly wonderful in all its simplicity and realism.
Ken Loach's film ranks among the year's best!" - Boyd Van Hoeij,
EUROPEANFILMS. NET
