Announcing a new meeting for The Leeds New-In-Town Meetup!
What: Let's go Movies!
When: Saturday, May 17, 7:30 PM
Where: Click the link below to find out!
Meeting Description: Dear All,
Lokhi and myself fancy to go to the movies this Saturday (afterwards to a bar or so ;-) )
The film is called Caramel and starts at 8pm at the Light cinema. Below you can find the synopsis of the movie.
I suggest that you RSVP by Friday noon, so I can make ticket reservations well in advance.
I assume we need to pick up the tickets min 30 min earlier so that is why meetup timing is for 7.30 pm in front of the ticket counters.
Hope to see you there!
Cheers
DD
Synopsis
Most of the action takes place in and around a Beirut beauty parlor where three of the five principal characters work. Layale is a young woman who?s carrying on an affair with a married man. She dreams of romantic getaways with him; he tries to balance his quick assignations with her and his devotion to his wife and daughter. Nisrine is engaged to be married to her stubborn, old?fashioned beau. But a problem looms as the wedding approaches ? she?s not a virgin, and that will not go over well with her alpha?male husband?to?be. Rima shows no interest in men but is infatuated with a female customer. Their "courtship" consists of washings and cuttings and nothing more. Rose (Sihame Haddad), the aunt of one of the salon workers (although this title may be an honorarium rather than the result of a blood relationship), owns a small sewing/tailor?s business. She must juggle caring for the senile Lily and pursuing a romance with a dapper customer. Finally, Jamale, a beauty shop regular, is a would?be actress who spends her life pursuing the next screen test. Labaki lightly addresses problems of hypocrisy in both Christian and Muslim communities, with humour and humanity, emphasizing a common female bond beyond beauty treatments and the characters are often bathed in a golden light in keeping with the film?s title.
