Set in the early 1970s, EAST IS EAST, directed by Damien O'Donnell, follows the lives of a Pakistani-English family living in Northern England. George Khan (Om Puri), a proud Pakistani immigrant, and his British wife, Ella (Linda Bassett), run a fish and chip shop, while raising their seven children. George is determined to honor Pakistani tradition by arranging marriages for each of the children, whether they like it or not. When the Khan kids, including the nightclubbing Tariq (Jimi Mistry), the artsy Saleem (Chris Bisson), and the shy, parka-wearing Sajid (Jordan Routledge), begin to rebel against their forceful father, their mother also joins the household mutiny. During an awkward nuptial arrangement meeting with the snobby Shahs and their two unappealing daughters, the family's conflict hits its peak with surprising results. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

A harmony of two different cultures is not a bed of roses. The Brits, the Pakistani, the Muslims, the Indians… They all meet in this story to beautifully showcase the kind of trouble that can arise when the benevolent Europe meets with the strict rules of the East. Maybe that’s also the reason behind the movie title. In any case, it was shot by an Irishman, so it made me laugh from the bottom of my heart a few times, but I also sighed at all the eastwards things that I find illogical. It was a pleasant, but occasionally also sad clash of two (or more) completely different cultures.
