Movie Description
A bittersweet story about a Pakistani taxicab driver in London who learns the hard way that "multiculturalism" is a myth. Actor Om Puri, typically the villain in Indian cinema, is likeable as the innocent Parvez, who for the first time in his life raises questions about the life he has made for himself and his family in England. The film centers around his relationship with a prostitute (Griffiths of HILARY AND JACKIE). Over time, he seeks refuge in his friendship with Bettina from his estranged family. At the same time, his only son is zealously embracing his Muslim heritage in an effort to fill the void left by his disenchantment with Western ideals. All of these come to a head in this marvelously acted, beautifully written film.

Editorial Reviews
"...Quirky..." -- Rating: A- - Recommended
Entertainment Weekly - p.79 - Entertainment Weekly Staff (02/11/2000)

"...[A] moving, painfully funny film. In Om Puri's award-caliber performance, the price of happiness is rendingly observed..."
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers

"...What is particularly successful about MY SON THE FANATIC is its representation of fundamentalism as solidly modern..."
Sight and Sound - p53-4 - Rachel Malik (05/01/1998)

"...Written with delicacy and dry humor....It's an atmospheric and persuasively acted film..."
New York Times - p.E14 - Janet Maslin (06/25/1999)

"...Wise, funny, troubling, and touching..."
Premiere - p.28 - Glenn Kenny (07/01/1999)

"...There's nothing glib about this movie, though despite its dark undertones, it is funny....This is a rockin' little time-rewarder..."
USA Today - p.8E - Mike Clark (06/25/1999)

"...Intelligent, poignant and witty, it involves us in real issues without stinting on their complexity..."
Los Angeles Daily News - p.F2 - Kenneth Turan (06/25/1999)

"...Om Puri's performance is based on the substantial strength of his physical presence, and on his-clear-sighted view of his world as an exile..."
Chicago Sun-Times - p.32 - Roger Ebert (07/02/1999)
