What East Is East Is About
Salford, 1971. George Khan, who runs a fish and chip shop, expects his household to follow strict Pakistani Muslim custom. His children, born to an English mother and raised in Britain, increasingly see themselves as British and start refusing his rules about dress, food, religion and how to live in general. Adapted from Ayub Khan-Din’s play, the film keeps comedy and domestic violence inside the same frame, and has a habit of cutting the laughter off mid breath. Om Puri plays George, with Linda Bassett as his wife.
