My Son the Fanatic Summary
Academy Award(r)-nominee Rachel Griffiths (hilary And Jackie, My Best Friend's Wedding) Stars In A Critically Acclaimed Story Of Unlikely Love Set Against A Clash Of Cultures And Generations! Parvez Is A Cab Driver Who Left Pakistan In Search Of A Better Life For His Family. Now He Feels That He Is Losing His Only Son, Farid, To The Conversative Beliefs He Abandoned Long Ago. Meanwhile, Parvez Befriends A Compassionate Woman (griffiths) And Finds The Comfort, Support, And Tenderness He Does Not Have With His Own Family. When The Disapproving Farid Discovers This Relationship, However, An Uncomfortable Situation Boils Over As Parvez Is Forced To Choose Between The Son He Adores ... And The Woman Who Understands Him!
Most generation gaps focus on conservative parents and radical kids, but
My Son the Fanatic
depicts the opposite: taxi driver Parvez (Om Puri) can't understand why his son has turned to Muslim fundamentalism, calling the Western world of their corner of London corrupt and driven by sex. Meanwhile, Parvez finds himself working for a hedonistic German businessman (Stellan Skarsgård from
Breaking the Waves
and
Good Will Hunting
) who has more or less hired a prostitute named Bettina (Rachel Griffiths from
Hilary and Jackie
and
Children of the Revolution
), with whom Parvez has become friends. As Parvez's wife also turns towards fundamental ways, and a Muslim holy man comes to live in their house, Parvez turns more and more to Bettina for solace. Their friendship turns more intimate, bringing the family conflict to a head. This could be little more than a midlife crisis fantasy, but
My Son the Fanatic
thickens its story with cultural details and well-developed characters. The performances are rich and affecting; Om Puri is charming and sympathetic, and makes Parvez's moral conflicts genuine and understandable. Though Bettina, as a hooker with a heart of gold, is a bit of a stereotype, Griffiths's integrity as an actress makes the character compelling. An affecting film that doesn't provide easy answers to the difficult questions it explores. Written by Hanif Kureishi (
