» Win copies of Brick Lane on DVD
Winner of the London Film Festival’s UK New Film Talent Award for debuting director Sarah Gavron, Brick Lane is based on Monica Ali's bestselling novel of the same name.
At the tender age of seventeen, Nazneen’s (Chatterjee) life is turned upside down. After an arranged marriage to an older man, she exchanges her Bangladeshi village home for a block of flats in London’s East End. In this new world, pining for her home and her sister, she struggles to make sense of her existence – and to do her duty to her husband. A man of inflated ideas (and stomach), he sorely tests her compliance. But Nazneen submits, as she must, to Fate and devotes her life to raising her family; until the day that Karim, a hot-headed local man, bursts into her life. Against a background of escalating racial tension, they embark on an affair that finally forces Nazneen to take control of her life. Set in multicultural Britain, Brick Lane is a truly contemporary story of love, cultural difference, and ultimately, the strength of the human spirit.
To celebrate the release of Brick Lane on DVD Beauty and the Dirt has 3 copies of the film, courtesy of Optimum Releasing, to giveaway!
